Arnica Gel for Fibromyalgia Relief

Image
By

I just bought this Arnica Zim's MAX gel ($9.99 @ CVS) in hopes of some kind of relief of my Fibromyalgia pain... you know the pain I'm talking about? The feeling like you're bruised from head to toe, even the slight touch from the shower water, your clothes, laying down, a person, ya know, pretty much anything, is just agonizing!!!

I have tried, what my rheumatologist tells me is "everything out there that they recommend for Fibromyalgia," that includes creams, gels, pills, you name it... plus pretty much every reasonable thing I have found on the lovely internet, to absolutely no avail... So when I heard about Arnica creams and gels I figured, what's the point? Probably won't work anyway, and put off trying it for a really long time. (Because it used to be expensive and hard to find.)

Let me just say that this stuff worked almost instantly! I was SO excited!!! It has a bit of a smell to it but it goes away pretty quickly (either that or I got used to it really fast lol).  The Arnica Zim's MAX is really great because it's not sticky, greasy, or oily either, like some other gels I've used in the past. It absorbs very quickly and starts working fast.

However, if the odor is a big issue for you, there are some brands of arnica creams and gels that claim to be unscented, I can't give you my word that they actually are odorless because I haven't personally used them, but Arnicare by Boiron is one that says they are unscented and their website has a $2 coupon (which they email you) and with the coupon it brings the price down to about the same as the Zim's, but the Arnicare bottles are 2.5 or 2.6 oz vs Zim's 4oz bottle, so you're spending a little more per oz, but it may be worth it if you have a sensitivity to smells.

I just want to say that I used the Zim's gel over 3 hours ago and it's still working.  I feel so much better.  Of course, it's not a cure all, it's not going to get rid of all of your pain and make you feel perfect, but I'm not in agonizing pain just from wearing a nightgown... I'm not curled up in bed just praying for the pain to stop.  It's brought the pain down to a manageable level... And it's the first thing that's managed to do that. For $10, you might as well try it out too... hopefully it will work for you! 

And just FYI, this is NOT a sponsored post, I just felt this needed to be shared! Hope it helps!

Aspira Pura - Pure Joy Bottled

By
I had the great joy of randomly bumping into this company on Instagram, where they offered to send me a few free bottles of their water to see how I liked it.  I must say I absolutely love it, it's like pure joy bottled!  Aspira Pura is an amazingly crisp water that I just couldn't get enough of. Which is most likely due to the reverse osmosis process that adds the minerals and electrolytes, which regular purified water doesn't have, including Calcium Chloride, Potassium Bicarbonate, and Magnesium Chloride.  Another great feature of Aspira Pura is the bottles, which are BPA free. I've found through trial and error that this means that even when they are shipped in the heat your water won't get that plastic taste... if you drink cheap Wal-mart water you know what I'm talking about.  Depending where you look, this water will run you about the same price / mL as Icelandic Glacial or LIFEWTR, but that's because you're getting the same great minerals, electr...

VigLink - for my bloggers!

By
VigLink is a way for blogs to make money, especially when google is messing up your AdSense (like they're doing to me for some reason). From what I understand they create hyperlinks on thing within your blog that you have talked about, but may not have thought to link to the company's site, because maybe they weren't your main focus. Then they give you $ for the traffic that those links (and some that you have already made) get.  In 2015 I made over $700 with VigLink, mainly due to a few of my Christmas shopping posts.  So they are totally legit! And you can make way more money than with AdSense (or at least I have in the past). Plus you can use both at the same time, so you can earn money from VigLink's links and from the ads that AdSense puts up. Win - Win!
