I just have to share, because it has been helping me a lot and maybe would help some of you as well. A couple weeks ago, I saw a commercial for this new type of Icy/Hot. It's called Icy/Hot Arthritis Lotion, and instead of that greasy gel that is more for muscle pain, this is just like a lotion. Not only has it been helping with my muscles, but it helps my joint pain as well. Yes, it still smells like Icy/Hot, which kind of sucks, but the relief I get from this stuff is totally worth it. Anyway, I got a bottle of it for like $6 at Target, so it's a nice cheap remedy for some of your aches and pains.

Just thought I'd share!

    I've been using Rosemary Essential OIl for my aches and pains. I just mix it with a carrier oil, like olive oil, and rub in on where it hurts. No Icy/Hot smell, but you do smell like rosemary for the rest of the day. :)

    That sounds interesting! Have you noticed any kind of skin irritation from the rosemary?

    I haven't had any irritation at all. As long as I mix it with a carrier oil I'm fine. I've use essential oils for other things, too. They're pretty amazing. I have asthma, and I'll use Eucalyptus for it sometimes. Love them!

    Hey all,

    Has anybody tried this for the knotting that comes with lupus + fibro?

    If it does I would gladly sell all I have for a lifetime supply :(
