Boswellia Curcumin - this supplement helps with inflammation & has given me my life back these last several years after 17 years of managing pain (using frequent high doses of ibuprofen & sometimes stronger meds) before that - about $22 for 4 bottles / 4 month supply (I take 2 each night for maintenance, 2 more in morning if feeling pain but that is rare now.)
-
Carol Foster half-somersault maneuver for vertigo - have been dealing with vertigo on & off recently and this is easier to do yourself than the Epley Maneuver which is easier with 2 people (I suggest - if your vertigo is bad - having a tub nearby in case you throw up, sorry if TMI!)

Lover's Corner
Tommy Rehbein is my husband, lover and friend - so I guess it's no surprise that I'm a fan of his musical talents! Early on, he toured the US and internationally with Small Towns Burn a Little Slower. When we met, he was in the bands Party House and Farewell Continental, and was doing solo side projects under the moniker International Karate. Before and between these, he was in LOTS and lots of other bands. I am always meeting people who say "Oh yeah, we were in such&such a band together back X number of years ago..." A recent project (which came to an end in May 2017) was a punk band called Naive Sense. Robosapien was also a project of his prior to the pandemic. Toilet Rats is his current solo project. Here are a few videos below:
