Stopain Stops Pain and We Ain't Lyin'

A few months ago I was introduced to Stopain, an extra strength no mess, no stain, roll-on pain reliever product meant to help ease muscle and arthritis pain. My husband sometimes has back pain due to work, but often hates the medicinal smell of most muscle pain relievers, so he was a little leery about trying this product to see if it would help his pain.

His reaction: It definitely helps the pain for several hours and while that medicinal smell is there, it's not nearly as strong as most are, so that was a very good plus. And it was not messy when he applied it.

My reaction: Because my husband had such great success with this product I decided to give it a try and found that Stopain really helped!

My son's reaction: Then my son, who works out a lot in boxing had some pain in his back, so he gave it a try with rave reviews. [See photo]

I must agree with my family, this product is great, and even though it does have that menthol medicine smell, it's well worth giving it a try. Plus, the company is offering a portion of the proceeds sold from the product in 2011 to the Arthritis Foundation. How insanely cool is that?

New Work, Muscle Pain and a Migraine From Hell

Yesterday I started a new job. This one is away from home. The reason I took on another job is because we really need the money. My first day at work was fun until I ended up with a migraine. It ended up becoming worse throughout the day and by the time my ride dropped me off to my front door I was on the verge of throwing up.

I'm not sure what it was, but I guess the fresh air helped for a bit until I was on the move again since my husband hadn't cooked dinner and I didn't want to wait. We ended up going to McDonald's with my husband whining because I laid my head in his lap on the way there.lol

Well, on the way back I ended up throwing up and along with it, blood. I've never thrown up blood, so it worried me. My husband thought maybe it was from a ulcer, but I don't know. It was only about a tablespoon of blood and a one time thing, but still.

When we did finally get home I was to the point that I didn't want to eat, so I went to bed early or tried anyway. 30 minutes later and my husband wanders into the room and wants to know why I am lying down and if I am going to eat. By now the pain had gotten worse because our crazy dogs wouldn't stop barking, so I told him so. His response? GOOD. And that was the last I saw of him for the rest of the night. Apparently his movie was more important. Sigh.

Today I traded my migraine for muscle pain.lol At least it wasn't a migraine! I would take muscle pain over that, any day! Right now I can barely walk. I do also have a raw blister on my thumb from work, but that's something that I can easily deal with. I did start carrying excedrin for migraine in my pocket at work, just in case.... I wonder if I have something that might work for muscle pain.. Hmm.

Had to go to walmart after work. For the past few days I've missed my 2nd break because they don't announce it and I didn't have a watch that worked, so I wound up buying one that happened to be on clearance for $5.

Despite the hours and the soon to be crazy overtime, I really enjoy my new job.
