   JnJTyson replied to JnJTyson's topic in Ambulatory

   I've never been a big fan of "you can wear anything you want...as long as its we tell you what color it is and how to wear it" I figure, as long as its professional, and you look decent....who cares. You can always tell when its laundry day at my hou...

12. Fibromyalgia

    JnJTyson replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    My mother has FM. She is TERRIFIED of having to take narcotics all the time. She's to the point of just dealing with the flare-ups rather than try a new med. She's pretty much allergic to everything anyhow..makes her itch. She tried Ambien-made her d...
