Anyone know of this "Be Active Plus" for sciatica pain? I just saw it. It doesn't make

9. I have a very cynical opinion...

I've dealt with chronic pain for decades. Back surgeries, replacement hip, several breaks these last few years. It all adds up. I also have lupus and fibro... that doesn't help! Maybe because I was fat nearly all my life... I mean, really obese for being under 5' tall, and trying every weight loss drug and physical machine out there to try to get something done. Who'd have thought one year after being diagnosed with fibro I would "automatically" lose nearly 100 pounds!

Anyway, I ended up viewing anything weight-loss related with a cynical eye, because nothing, of course, was a magic bullet... no matter how much perseverance and will I put into it.

Today, now that all us boomers are growing older, there's suddenly all these pain relief ads... as well as memory aids. My hubby's got three different "meds" coming in on a monthly basis... and believe me, it hasn't helped his memory one bit!

Like I said, I figure my cynicism is due to all the years I tried to lose weight, but I don't trust any of the over the counter stuff to work like they say it will. If it's cheap, I may try it out. But on SS, they're not getting any more of my money due to great marketing, no matter how bad my back and joints hurt! I'll stick with my docs. And some of this, they just shake their heads over. YMMV, cause everyone is different. And I've become just a cynical old lady! (LOL)
