I had one 2 day attack that really effected me physically, but I didn't use the MII water for a couple of days. I went back on it and things are starting to settle in my body a lot...

something to think about

I think menopause might be at issue for some of us women, childbirth seems to bring it on in some. And this is an iron related issue.....hormones effect EVERYTHING.......lol don't we know that's true.

No I couldn't download that video either, but I took at look around the sight. The IRLS severity scale.....that was stupid to me. As if this form could really help someone with a medical professional. It's done in in the form of " a week, last week" blah blah blah......Who here could take that to a ...

The life given to you is just that, you decide where it goes. You were caught up in a very difficult lifestyle and no one noticed in time ...

hi there

Hi Lyndarae, It's what I get to take when I travel so I don't roam in other's houses at night. I like it, just make sure to use it when you can really try to sleep 6-8 hours. If you have problems with major groggy the next day, they have a new one with a half life of Ambien. I hope you get some rest.
