Chronic Pain Relief from LGMedSupply

Have you ever had to use Muscle Stimulators before for injuries or other ailments? I haven't ever really had an injury that crippled me to the point of needing pain management treatments. Right now though, I have a friend who is dealing with an irritating ankle injury that just doesn't seem to want to go away. She has been struggling with chronic pain and has been using TENS Units to alleviate and treat her pain. According to her, it is doing a great job and she has been feeling much better these days. Until recently, I never knew a device like this existed.

LGMedSupply is a company that carried products like those I mentioned above and many other products including the  LG-TEC Dual Combo TENS Unit and Muscle Stimulator which allows you to receive the benefits of using these products in tandem. Oh, and in case you don't know already, a TENS Unit is a device that stimulates the nerves by using electrical currents. Amazing how this can help with chronic pain. In research that I have personally done, I have found that more and more people today are using these units to help with their physical ailments. It also appears that doctors are recommending these units for pain relief as well. 

Muscle Stimulation is not something that is always associated with medical ailments either. I learned through LGMedSupply that you can also use muscle stimulation for weight training and body building. I am not into the body building aspect but I do have some weight training exercises that I do now and then. It would be great to have a muscle stimulation machine to help me encourage more muscle growth to get rid of my flabby skin.

So, if you are looking to purchase any TENS Units or Muscle Stimulators be sure to Visit LGMedSupply Online. They have many different types of machines available and you should be able to find one to fit your specific need. You can also visit their online customer blog for more information on how these products work and how they can help you.

Protecting Your Elderly Loved Ones

You know, the elderly are some of the most cherished people on this planet. Some of you may have elderly parents and some of you may have grandparents that are getting up in age. My grandparents passed away when I was still a teenager and I miss them terribly. My great-grandmother, with whom I had a fantastic relationship, lived to be well into her 90's before she passed away and I remember her so well. She was just one of those types of ladies who was the PERFECT great-grandmother.

As she became older, she began to have spells where she would fall and not be able to get up. She was still able to live on her own but needed nurses to come and help her every day. I would hate to hear that she had a spell and wondered how long it would be until she was needing an assisted living facility. 

Eventually, my grandmother set her up with a life-line necklace that would give her the assistance she would need at the touch of a button. I have recently heard of a company that offers these types of necklaces for the elderly and they have really come a long way in the technology behind these devices! The ones offered by this company can give your loved one 24/7 nurse help line access if they have a medical or non-medical emergency. I love the idea of this because it will give help when help is needed. Sometimes, my great grandmother had problems that weren't urgent and she would call her daughter. Well, if my grandmother was not available, this particular company would have a way for her to get help without having to call her daughter. 

So, when my parents get to a point in their life where they are requiring a bit more assistance, I am definitely going to be looking into one of these types of necklaces that offer help at the push of a button. What a reassurance it would be just knowing that they would have immediate assistance anytime and anywhere...even if I wasn't able to help them.

Simple, Quick Pain Relief with BENGAY® Zero Degrees

You have probably already read about how we have recently purchased a new home. Hopefully, we will be moving mid-January (things may be a bit slow around here but no worries...I have a few surprises up my sleeves to keep things interesting!) and I am NOT looking forward to moving my family in the middle of winter. I live in a very wintry part of New York and it gets very cold, icy and snowy in January. If I had my choice, we would have moved several months ago. But anyway, I am trying to mentally prepare for the winter and our move and recently, I became aware of a new product from BENGAY that will help with the sore body I am bound to get after our move. I like to think I am in shape because I carry around my 18 pound son most of the day but when you start working muscles that typically don't get used, they get sore.

Bengay has introduced BENGAY® Zero Degrees...which is a pain-relief gel stick that can be stored in the freezer! Talk about ultimate pain relief...BENGAY has always worked well for me and this new product sounded so great to me. Here is a bit more about BENGAY...

BENGAY® Brand launched its original formula in 1898. With over 100 years of history, BENGAY® Brand has established a legacy of trust grounded in safety and efficacy.Many BENGAY® Brand products are formulated with a “vanishing scent” that starts to disappear minutes after it is applied. This means you could, for example, apply some BENGAY® cream or gel when you are getting ready in the morning, and by the time you arrive at work or school, the scent would be virtually gone.

I always remember thinking that BENGAY was for "old people" but honestly, that is no longer the case...I have decided that "old" is over 65. Hee hee. Seriously though, it has helped me through so many tough times with my muscles especially since I have been a mother. 

So, for this review I was thrilled to receive BENGAY® Zero Degrees. The packaging looks like something you would find in the food aisle but be not deceived...it is totally a health-related product!

This particular BENGAY product packaging is nothing like anything they carry. It looks like deodorant but it is total pain relief in stick form. Just be sure to let your family members know that it is NOT deodorant. :)

Before you use it for the first time, it is recommended that you put the entire stick into the freezer for about 2 hours. This will add to the cool feeling of the gel. The gel will not freeze either...it is formulated to stay in gel form even though it has been in the freezer. Once it is chilled, go ahead and click the dial on the bottom (like you would your deodorant) and apply to your sore areas. I have had a stiff neck for the past few days and I have been using this BENGAY® Zero Degrees. It works wonderfully...I experience cool and relaxing pain relief that typically lasts for about 2 hours. I love how you can use this particular BENGAY product and not get any on your hands. I don't mind the smell but sometimes I don't like getting it on my hands because I am always holding my baby and don't want to get it on him. So, the stick form is really REALLY nice. 

BENGAY® Zero Degrees retails for about $14 and can be purchased at mass retailers and drug stores including Walgreens, CVS and also RiteAid. 

So, in my opinion...BENGAY Zero Degrees is a fantastic product! I love how it relieves my tough muscle tightness and pain and also how the scent disappears. That is probably the best part. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone...especially all you fitness buffs who are going to be working out over this upcoming winter season. This is a top-of-the-line pain reliever that will give you exactly what you need for your toughest muscle pain.

Teething Pain Relief...Thanks To FeverAll! (Review & Giveaway)

I think that one of the most difficult times in a baby's life is when they start teething. My children have all had issues cutting teeth and it breaks my heart to see them in pain like that. Typically, my babies start the drooling, runny nose and fever stage of teething when they are around 6 months old. We have never cut teeth before then. Isaac is my newest up and coming teether and he is soaking all of his bibs daily. I think I change his drooly bib at least 4 times a day. If I forget to put a bib on him then I am changing his shirt over and over again. Teething is nasty...but it is necessary. If you are looking for a new way to help your little one get through this tough time in their life, I have a product that I want to share with you today that will bring welcome relief for teething pain.

FeverAll is a product that should be found in every mommy's medicine cabinet. Why? Because it allows you to temporarily relieve your child's pain when they are spitting up, vomiting, or are unable to swallow liquid medicine for whatever reason. For me, this is fantastic. I really struggle sometimes to get my son to take medication orally and so this is a perfect solution. Here is a bit more about FeverAll Infants Strength...

FeverAll® Infants’ Strength Suppositories are recommended for infants ages 6 to 36 months to temporarily reduce fever and relieve minor aches, pain and headaches.

With FeverAll® Infants’ Strength Suppositories on hand, caregivers can be ready to relieve their infant’s fever and pain at any time. Easy-to-use suppositories ensure babies receive the recommended 80 mg dose of acetaminophen every time.

I think what I like best is that there is a wide age range for the infant's strength. I have three children, ages 4, 2 and 5 months. So I could use this for my last two children as it is right in their age range.

So, for this review I was sent a box of FeverAll Infant's Strength and a FeverAll branded cool pack. I wasn't sure when I would need to try it as I don't like to medicate if it isn't necessary. Well, this week my two year old has been waking up EVERY NIGHT screaming. He never tells us what is wrong, but he has been chewing on his fingers so I suspect he is cutting his two-year molars.

Well, after several nights of this, I decided to try FeverAll with him. I have never given any of my children suppositories so this was new for me.

What I love is that the infant suppositories themselves are small so they are not uncomfortable. I would say that they are about the circumference of a large lollipop stick. All you do is unwrap the suppository and insert it as far as possible into the rectum. Sounds gross, but it is really quick and easy to do. My son didn't have any problems with it going in. I was honestly worried about it staying in but that wasn't an issue either! I am really thrilled to say that for the first time in several nights, Jacob slept straight through the night! He had no screaming fits and didn't wake up once.

I am loving this FeverAll cool pack too. It has an adjustable and elastic head band that is soft and easy to use. The adjustable band ensures that you will be able to fit it to any one's head. The other thing that I like about this cool pack is that you can use it either hot or cold. Some people prefer heat, others prefer coolness. So, you can have it either way.

This particular cool pack is also great because it is flexible and molds into any position. Not only can you use it on your head, but you can also use it for other parts of your body. My husband has nerve pain in one of his fingers and uses heat packs on it to help alleviate the pain. He really likes to use this cool pack for his hand...except he heats it up instead of using it cool.

You can find FeverAll at major retailers and drugstores across the U.S., such as CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart, and can purchase it for a suggested retail price of approximately $7.00 for a package of six suppositories.

So, in my opinion...FeverAll is a wonderful solution for teething pain! Since the Benzocaine teething gels have been discouraged and oral medications don't always work well, it is nice to have this suppository option. I am definitely happy with the results that I have seen from using FeverAll with my son and will continue to use it as his pain level increases. We HATE teething, but love the relief that we find with FeverAll!
