The first twinge was in the base of my thumb. It felt like someone was pounding a tiny nail into the joint. Wow! Are my hitchhiking days really over? No, it's just the beginning of arthritis -- not a serious ailment at this stage and entirely treatable. I ran out and bought my first bottle of glucosamine-chondroitin (more of that later) and sat down to update myself on arthritis, the #1 cause of disability in Americans over 15.

You can get arthritis at any age -- 300,000 children have it -- but Baby Boomers are especially vulnerable. According to www.ArthritisFoundation.org -- my newest bookmark -- approximately 66 million Americans, or nearly 1 in 3 adults, have arthritis, and many more women than men.
