Information is your #1 tool. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Hot Hemp Muscle Rub. One of our fellow fibromites/chronic pain suffer has some really sensitive skin and could not use many topicals such as Sombra. They recently discovered "Hot Hemp Muscle Rub" and did not have a skin reaction and really liked the product. I am not sure of the brand etc but I just love google and found some here http:/ www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb sb noss/181-7765163-1847468? Url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Hot Hemp Muscle Rub.

Information is your #1 tool. Friday, September 13, 2013. Depression and suicide. What a conversation starter I am, right? No wonder I don't do well at parties. Tuesday night was a pretty intense evening. At least for me. I didn't take notes for the most part. Our group shared very personal stories about their personal struggles. Each had five minutes to share. How do you share that you were 'this' close to losing it and why in just five minutes? I have a few more things to share in the next week or so...

Totally epic in my opinion. December 10th meeting will be our Christmas meeting. Our third annual meeting. Woohoo! You don't ev...
