EFAs causing rash?
Pretty sure I have a heat rash but out of curiosity... Can EFAs cause a rash? I'm talking the standard Omeage 3-6-9 supp you can get at the drugstore kind. Have never reacted to any supps I've taken before and it had faded to non-existence come the morning. My last multi was a high-end one which included fish and other…

Any Asics wearers here?
Hi guys, I've tried a few shoes brands but Asics seem to be the best for me. Use the GT-1000's for walking; have the Kayano 17's for running. My Kayanos are starting to show some wear; I'd say they're about halfway there in terms of mileage - really like the Kayanos so obviously looking to get me a new pair. I hear the…

in March I suffered a fall and as such suffered a bone contusion to my tibial plateau, an MCL sprain as well as patellar tendonitis.
