Due to my job, I travel to many countries, including South America. As long as you have your prescript ions in the original container, the customs people don't hassle you. I have been to Brazil...
I started seeing a "dart thrower" about a month ago and it has helped me overcome my latest flare. I did it 3 times a week and now I am doing it once a week. It helps with my colon, my stress level,...

Hi, I see a chiropractor every 6 months or so, whenever I feel "out". The treatments, along with accupuncture, help me stay balanced, which in turn helps me stay relaxed and less likely to flare....
Hi Kelly, I took 12 years to finish my college degree due to illness, finding myself, and other reasons. If asked, I was truthful and said that it took me some time to really figure out what I wanted...
