S. Thank you for your sharing about the anxiety. I’m Bipolar and am now suffering from anxiety also. I know that the pain medication I’m taking (Ultram) is responsible for the anxiety – it is a side...
Cap I believe that 2tall has the right answer, the vinegar, lemon and a bit of water sounds like the correct way to go. After all, the women usually know what to do about this smell or that. Vinegar...
