I don't like using pain meds, either, and avoid them whenever possible. Hope the chiro helps. Gentle hugs.
Thanks for the recommendation! Someone had told me about magnesium before, but not turmeric. I was about to go to the store now that I'm home and realized I was missing a few ingredients for dinner. Here's what's sad...and I could go on a rant, but going to the chiro costs $55 an adjustment. Therapy costs me $60. The GP costs $30. But my meds are free. I hate insurance companies!! I could prevent and/or fix my issues other (healthier) ways, but they'd rather I pop a pill instead.
