i am going to call the following sides and see if any one else has some ideas they want to suggest.
def of sides - non prescribed over the counter or natural type things that help with pain.
of course i know not everything works for everyone. but it might help some of the newly diagnosed members or anyone who just needed some fresh ideas.
here are some of mine:
1-bio freeze on sore spots but don’t get too close to your eyes and wash your hands with cool water
after applying
2-soft ice pack on side of temple when laying flat when pain starts to elevate
3-vow yourself to silence and stay off of phone don’t talk too much when your pain is ramping up
4-vitamin b dissolve under tongue type to help with energy
5-wear big dark sunglasses. i thought i was having migraines and it was the squinting that was setting off the pain.
6-scarf wrapped around face and mouth and nose. i discovered that breathing really cold air sets off the horrible pain i get up my nose.
7-sipping warm chi tea
thanks

Julie–what is bio freeze and where do you get it? Sounds like maybe from an automotive store. haha Jane
biofeeze can be purchased on line, i just ordered some for my siser. i googled it also at chiropractic offices (bought my first tube from Gilkey in Newburgh), health food stores, bought my first spray from a salon out of town. Hooks apocathary store on vogel road has it. they also have little packetes on their front counter so you could try it first. it gets really expensive to keep purchasing all of this stuff. it also does wonders for muscle pain.
hey there’s an idea maybe we are looking in the wrong stores maybe a little WD40? hahaha just kidding. :o)
have a great day
