Lioness, I believe at times I would give up were it not for last relief measures like ice, heat, and my Epsom salt, baking soda and lavender hot bath soak! I also take long daily walks at the picture location on the JBER military base. That area feels like my home, and although it is on a military reservation, I have seen more bears there than people in the last 20 years. I am going to investigate the Meloxicam and Fibro Malic as I feel compelled to for relief. Let's all pray for more pain free days.
