I find this site very hard to use so I hope someone gets it. I am resting today and feel slightly better. Has anyone had such a bad attack.? I can only get relief with Valium 5mg and 2 panadol. Can anyone help. Wondering if 24 hour wog? Thank you.
Marymi again. Yesterday i had aching bones, muscles, worse headache ever! Has anyone had this. It felt like 24 hour wog? Not sure . Very perplexed. Cant use this site very well.
