My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
It is a natural muscle relaxer/pain killer. Google it... I goggled natural muscle relaxer and it was the first thing that came up, then I searched it on amazon and read about 40 reviews and all but one where promising. The dissatisified person tried it for anxiety and depression. The others took it for pain and all reported positive feedback. It was $35.00 w/shipping for 250 pills and the only real compliant was that they smell bad but work.
What the hell, it's worth a shot. At this point I will try just about anything to feel even a little relief. I'll keep you posted for sure.
Wonderbaby..... LOVE the avatar :)
One more thing I've learned is that those reviews...who is reviewing it? Is it your average person who would ache? Or is it people with Fibro? Arthritis? that sort of thing.
Just because something has good reviews, doesn't mean it's gonna work for us.
But I know that desperation.....you want to feel good so badly and then something like this is dangling in front of us like a little carrot in front of a rabbit. Just be cautious.
(Thanks, I've been cracking up at this avatar for a couple of days now)
