What is fibromyalgia?
I call it overactive nerves; For Me it is a Pain in the…, however according to “Lryica” website/and handouts it is chronic wide spread pain and tenderness all over. Here’s exactly what that means to me:
Chronic means “Constant”, longtime, long lasting in its effects, persistent, for me pain that come on whenever it wants and last a long time. Many people experience fibromyalgia pain for years before being diagnosed as I did I was on 9 different prescription pills, some for depression, some for pain some for blood pressure and I didn’t have blood pressure problems,….. to many drugs I said enough.
Widespread means that it is all over the body. However, many people with fibromyalgia feel pain in the same places, such as the lower back and neck
Tenderness means that even a small amount of pressure can cause a lot of pain
“Fibromyalgia is one of the most common chronic pain conditions. It affects more than 5 million peoplein the United States. That’s nearly 1 in every 60 Americans. Mostly women have it. But so can men. Most people begin feeling the symptoms of fibromyalgia when they are middle aged, but symptoms can start before then.” *Lryica
I have been living with FMS for over 15 years and before that we had no clue what was wrong with me. Just knowing some of these tips and Natural products here might help you as well as it helped me. I wish you the best, give Watkins a try all products are 100% money back.Nothing to lose, keep tring.....
Reduce those painful times, little things can make a big difference. Keeping certain little things near you to help you manage your fibromyalgia
Ricebag
A rice bag is uncooked rice inside a little pillow, usually made of flannel orsome fabric that feels nice against your skin. You heat it in the microwave fora couple minutes and it releases a soothing, slightly moist heat. It's a great alternative to a heating pad because it gradually cools off and won't start afire, so you can use it to help you sleep
How I use my rice Bag, I heat it but I use some Watkins Menthol Camphor to help with the pain. I had to test this because I did not want too much heat or a rash, for my skin is sensitive, however no problems found withme, so I rub the Watkins Menthol on the painful areas then I set the rice bag on them areas.( Watkins carries different kinds of pain rubs and they are Natural Products)
Blanket and soft pillows
Even in the summer, I have a luxuriously soft blanket handy in my family room as well as a variety of cozy-feeling pillows. My blanket is a fleece easy to was and always handy, one day a friend stop by it was 90*out and I was feeling the pain all covered up, she laughed so hard at me butthe blanket softness really helps Me.
o Lotion
Dry, itchy skin aggravates my FMS, and every time I scratch it can cause a lotof pain in the area. If the lotion has a soothing scent, it can do double dutyby helping you relax.
o My Watkins Menthol Camphor can be used like a lotion; I have a customer that uses this for Eczema Skin Condition and dry scally feet relives pain and soften skin.
SOME SYMPTOMS
Many of these fibromyalgia symptoms also can be caused byother ailments and this list isn't intended as a diagnostic tool here some search site I found,arthritis pain relieverchronic fatigue syndrome
· Cravings for carbohydrate and chocolate
I have cut breads and Pototoes out of my diet for the last Month in half seems to work well.( I did have French Frys the other day just to handle the Cravings).
· Headaches & migraines for me this is 24/7 pain, but I found Natural Peppermint Foot Cream rubbed on my temples/forehead really helps, a foot cream for the head, LOL~ A Natural product.
· Vision changes, including rapidly worsening vision
· Sensitivity to odors
· Sensitivity to pressure changes, temperature & humidity
· Night driving difficulty ~ ya I just quit this task,

Five Positive ways to grow a Home Business.
By Brian S Watkins Independent Associate
Id # 394943
When you start working from home,
getting support from a Family Members is very important. Unfortunately not all Families
are willing to give you the support you need. When I first started my small
business, my family was not very supportive for various reasons. Fortunately I
learned several things that helped me get the support I needed to make my
dreams a success and now I will share them with you.
Here are five ways to get support
from your family, for our at home business.
1. What Is The Future
Potential
Your family may not understand that
you have an actual business. It could be making jewelry, taking pictures,
talking to people; my business is using Watkins Natural Products from cooking, cleaning,personal care and pain care. One might hear “those are hobbies not actual work”.
“Sure you may get some pocket change from it, but this is fun stuff”.
In this case, you need to sit down
and explain what exactly you do, what the potential payoff is the market
strategy, and the number of customers you have or will have.
Pretend you’re going to the bank for
a loan, have everything laid out, don’t undersell yourself but don’t oversell
either. Keep it realistic. When you show your Family that you are treating this
like a business, and you have a good plan, that can be enough to get at least
some support for your business.
2. Show Me The Money
This is related to the first method.
If your business is not producing money, or is only making a few dollars a
month, you will not be able to convince your family it’s an actual business.
This is a big problem for many who need to build up a portfolio, and can be a
problem for other people as well.
However, With
Watkins products using the products daily saves you money, because you buy all
these products at full retail cost, each month at local Stores. But with Watkins
you receive a membership discount of 25% right away and could also use the advantage
program and Save 30% and get free shipping so showing the money in this
business Starts when you do.
1.So you need to make money.
Yes it would be easier to make the
money if your family gave you the support, but life is not fair. When you make
a sale, if it’s for a small amount, don’t go running and say, “See I got paid!”
I did this a few times with my Sister when I started using Watkins and the $10
or $20 I made didn’t seem impressive. Instead, I show her my shopping list and
compared it to hers THAT WORKED! J Then, I build up the money, build up my customers,
until it reaches a decent amount, (my goal was $250.00 extra a month at 1st)
how much is up to you. Then go and say you just made this much money! You don’t
have to say it took you a month or two to do it, just lay it down on the table
and say your business made it. I told my sister I made $300 at my 1st
Watkins show she was impressed.
When there is money to be made, most Families
will become a lot happier about helping out.
3. Show Your Work
When you work at home,
there is a belief that you spend all day in your underwear relaxing. To help
prove you don’t do this, make a schedule of your day. This will not only help
you stay on task, but you can show it to your husband, friends and family,
letting them see what you actually do.
If you back this up by showing the
work you accomplished that day, it’s a lot harder for your Family to believe
you spent the entire day relaxing. Even better, you can ask your Family if they
would like to help you out a little, and point to exactly where you need the
help.
Remember people work best with a
schedule, so give them one and they are a lot happier about helping.
4. Share your work/have an
emergency
Most people like free items. People like
feeling important. Give them a job that
only one can do, and one will do it for the praise/or some free natural
products and to make them look good.
.
Even if you can fix the problem, if
it involves something your family is used to, and knows how to fix, get them to
do it. Then when they’re done THANK THEM with a big smile or some free product/samples,
they will feel awesome, and the next time you need help, even if it’s something
not as fun, they will be more likely to do it again, because being the hero is
fun.
5. Incentives
You’ve tried everything else and your
Family still refuses to help out. There is one last thing you can do that
should work and doesn’t involve a fight.
Use the products at Holidays, get
together times: One will need the dishes washed one night use Watkins dish soap.
Offer to cook your Families favorite meal, using Watkins spices, herbs gravies,
and pudding mix. You need the kids out of the house for the afternoon so you
can talk to a client, prepare a really nice lunch and help pack everything (Sun
screen, Lip balm, food, first aid kit with Watkins natural products) up for your Family
and kids to have an all-day outing.

If you do this a few times with most people,
at least one of these should work to show your business off whatever it might
be. It may take a bit of time for one to get into the swing of things, but once
we know that something is important and are given a clear idea of how we can
help most people will help.
Just remember they are helping they’re
not working for you. If one start feeling like unpaid labor, or that they’re
being taken for granted the help will stop. But with regular Thank you’s,
pleasant smiles, and an occasional reward, that shouldn’t be a big problem.
Get you Family involved, with your
home business, mine is Watkins and it works

motivational and productivity coaching team who helps Watkins become your small

Chronic Pain,Headaches, OTC dangers
Headaches,back pain,joint pain, large dangerous pains.
from your www.productlady.com Watkins id #394943
Dangerous OTC ~I was watching Dr OZ yesterday, I am going to try to paraphrase the show, it was very interesting from food fraud to for pain medication
“We depend on over the counter (OTC) pain
Medications to help ease headaches, achy joints
or raging fevers. ^However, could the deadly dangers from these medications outweigh the benefits?
They said, More than 100 million Americans suffer from some form of chronic pain. Many of those Americans rely on trusted over-the-counter (refereed as OTC) pain medications that contain acetaminophen or ibuprofen without knowing their dangerous consequences. Both ingredients, if taken in excess, can cause deadly side effects
Acetaminophen found in or you may know it as Tylenol; however, it can be found another OTC products like Dayquil, Midol and Excedrin. If you take all of these products, you may be overdosing on acetaminophen, which can endanger your liver. Moreover,
“the latest research shows that taking slightly too much acetaminophen over a period of several days could also damage your liver. Your liver cells are in charge of processing medications and chemicals that is absorbed through the GI tract.”( Dr OZ 2013)
Dr OZ said the maximum dose of acetaminophen is 3000 mg a day according to Tylenol. That’s only six regular extra strength Tylenol pills. If you take more, you may put your liver at risk.
Ibuprofen: A Stroke Waiting to Happen for back pain, hip pain: pain relievers if you take too much you impact the body, the extra hurts the body then you could get high blood pressure, Ibuprofen ingredient is used in the OTC medications like Advil, Motrin and Midol.Moreover, overdosing can put you at a higher risk for strokes and heart attacks. Furthermore, it can damage your kidneys and increase your risk for stomach bleeding. All of these dangerous side effects relate to how ibuprofen works in the body. Now this is a lot harder for me to write “but it is because “*these enzymes, cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2,ibuprofen.” It stop the body like you take it and it just overflows in your body making you sick.
- What Alternatives are Available?
1.Magnesium for Migraines,
2.The show also recommended that have menthol (“methyl salicylate and menthol”)in them, I wanted to jump on the show and tell them about my Watkins products, time tested use by many, need to be found by many more. I have the bestnatural pain product for you.
Listed below is my #1 natural products ingredients by Jr Watkins *#5 is what I used every single day along with the spray when I am on the go, and #4 at night. I occasional rotate out the Red Liniment with the White Liniment but the White Liniment is my favorite.

Briakat says' Hello
The 9th day of February, five days before Valentines, 4 days before Ash Wednesday, one day before tomorrow, one day after yesterday. Today a happy day, as the day unfolds you dream and think of days pasted and to come.
These days, days go by so fast, as a child you thought the next day would never get here. You had snow days, birthdays, summer days... the days were never here fast enough. You want to grow up,be older. Now that you are, you might think of all the days you missed. Sometimes I do. Sometimes, I say what if... mine what if are usually about my children, my life, how to make it better, why was I in a hurry to grow up?
These days’ children and adults are in a hurry, carrying cell phones in one hand, and use the other hand to open doors. Happy days slow them down, go back to making a list, check it twice, say I love you in person to someone you care about, help a neighbor, pet your pet. Take a walk, with a friend, play and talk to your children every day. Make someone’s day by say hello, how are you today?
Smile as you go to work, while you work, during cleaning the dish, cooking the supper, watching a show, writing a letter. What you say ,is a write a letter today? One changed the way we have a day, we email, blog, social chat and more, I like to say (have a great day, )hagd, lol, brb in a hurry is what we say.
But yesterday, I was actually talking to a friend with my voice, from far away, she made a comment that made my day, she said I would send you a card if I new exactly where you are! A card I say, who sends them these days? (Personal and in a care away.) That is nice, Thank you I say. I wish I was still a card person these days. So now it is today and before I started this blog to all of you,I found some cards to mail out today. I wrote a note say Hi ,My children I just wants to say I love you everyday. Then I text ed them because I wanted them to know this really FAST!!
So now I slowed down just a little today, I feel great and want to say, Join me and take a minute to enjoy your day, write on that list we check twice , to really tell some one you care today. Make today a Special Day !!! :) <3 Share the <3 xxxooo =( in my days ,)that was Hugs and Kisses at the bottom of a cards or piece of paper.

I dont Want to be a Rep!!
I dont want to
be a Watkins consultant I just want Watkins!!!
You dont need to be a rep/consultant to enjoy Watkins products, That is just a term Watkins uses for everyone, I started Watkins because I want the Menthol Camphor only. That was a year ago, I choose to sell the product later because, I notice the income was good.
Should I dont want to be a "consultant" "associate" stop you from enjoying the great natural products? You can Save by ordering from your home,you can use the free shipping program Watkins offers once a year or every month the choose is yours. It is true Watkins is about you.
