I just saw the commercial yesterday and it is a homeopathic spray that is supposed to take away the pain. I am going to order, it's natural so you don't need a presription. I'll let you guys know if I get any relief from it. If anybody else has tried it, let me know if it helps or if it doesn't. I'm on lyrica right now and it does nothing for me. My pain scale remains the same, does anybody know if it supposed to be gradual or instantaneous? Peace and love!

What is it called? Is it like Dr. Frank's pain spray?

Every good marketer is saying they've got the new "cure all" for FM. So do some research before you waste your money.

Is this it?? This thing was made from Homeopathic Laboratories.

Hypericum is known for its effects on the nerves and is particularly effective for injuries to areas of the body rich in nerves - like toes and the tailbone. Sometimes, all a stubbed toe needs is some Hypericum and the pain melts away quickly. Hypericum Spray is perfect for injuries that already hurt (like toes and fingers) and the thought of rubbing something on the red, swelling injury makes it hurt more. Hypericum Spray is also perfect for tailbone injuries because, who can actually reach their tailbone? All it takes is good aim with Hypericum Spray.

The only other things I found when typing in homeopathic spray was an allergy thing and a growth hormone thing.

I saw the Dr. Frank spray commercial too. I figured it sounds to good to be true. When it sounds that way, normally it is. I did hear that it taste good but thats about it. Don't ask me why he decided to taste it. I guess it smells good. I know biofreeze works great for aches and pains. Its a cream for muscles it heats up then cools down it last a long time too. I love it, the only thing is that I think you can only get though PT from your therpiest. If you want more info I can find out for you or maybe someone here knows how to get it.

I love biofreeze. Just make sure you wash your hands after you apply it. I think you can actually get Biofreeze elsewhere now too... pharmacies and such... I'll doublecheck and let anyone that wants to know what I find out. PM me if you're interested.

I would like more info on that biofreeze kitkatkmm. My mom has much pain...she uses a different type of cream ( I can't remember the name right now) and she says it works, too....but, sometimes, not so much and it's hard for her to apply it some of the time, too. She gets terrible pain in her hand and fingers. I would like to try this cream on my back and hip as that's where I'm in pain the most.

If you could PM me, that would be great... because there is NO WAY I'm going to remember that you asked me (and I apologize for that).

My husband bought me a large bottle if biofreeze at the local medical supply store. I also use Icy Hot. It works differently. the biofreeze goes on cold, but the Icy Hot goes on cold but then gets warm (hence the name). I think you can but the Icy Hot at a pharmacy. Use the Icy Hot sparingly because if you use too much it can start to feel like its burning.
