1) anyone have experience ultram, tramadol?? good bad????
2) how about ativan???
3) prickly pear cactus???
4) cinnamon
5) acupuncture????
6) and as for exercise...i get tired so very quick but hopefully i will be going back to the gym on a semi regular basis...I went today and did bike for 20 minutes and about 100 crunches...i was sick most of the reest of day...but i did it...
