K-tape

After40+ years of living with Fibro I have found that K-tape works wonders. You can find it where they sell sports supplies. It was devolved for muscle injuries. It is widely used to prevent injuries while playing sports. My physical therapist puts it on the areas that Fibro affects my body the most. My back has not felt this good in years. Thank you

What hmm yep everything is funny! The fog is the part that beats me every time! But that's what alarms, reminders, notes and kids are for. They keep you on track!😳👍

Depends on whether they are covered head to toe, I've only seen them with head and hands on show x
