Hello,

I'm in an awful flare today and I'm always looking for new ways to feel better. I saw a fibromyalgia rubbing oil with frankincense and myrrh. It has two reviews that claims it really works. I saw it on www.iherb.com, has anyone heard of anything like this. Right now I would try anything if I thought it would work.

Thanks,

Melissa

I must have 10 different kinds of pain gels and oils. They just don't seem to make anything strong enough for this kind of pain. Most of them stink also (icyhot, mineral ice). I think I like Sportscream the best because of lack of smell. Tiger Balm doesn't come in a big enough jar to be useful.

I just picked up something new that I saw at the dollar store called Dr. Fred Summit Arthritis & Sport with wintergreen. It's for rubbing and soaking. I'm willing to try something new for $1. It contains Epsom Salt plus Alcohol, Magnesium Sulfate & Capsicum.

My Godsend and go-to rub is now ALWAYS BioFreeze, I got a BIG pump bottle at the hospital pharmacy for $34.00. I know it's pricey BUT its the ONLY thing that helps me. Considering I dang near take a bath in it when I'm really hurting the pump bottle was the way to go! I think it's 12oz and it has a disappearing odor, stinks going on, then gradually fades to nothing. It's worth a try if you can afford, and I hope it helps! (Hugs) Musta

I find that soaking in Epsom salts with lavender oil helps. I use bio freeze as well. I have the spray bottle and roll on. I take a hot bath or shower and then spray or rub it on. Caution: It really heats up after a hot bath or shower!!!!

I mix essential oil of peppermint & wintergreen with a little organic coconut oil & that seems to help some. I'm curious to hear if the oil blend you mention is helpful.
