Topicals
topicals & suppositories!!! everything from menthol, lidocaine, CBD & THC based topical/suppository based relief!!!
cream, roll-on, spray, patches… menthol or lidocaine… i love them all
ICY Hot :: Menthol or Lidocaine
good replacement/sub for ICY Hot
BioFreeze
my first line of defense for literally any ache or pain, anywhere on my body!!!
Someday's :: Cramp Cream
this melts into your skin like heaven!!! an absolute dream to work w/ for abdominal/neck massages for tension/guarding release! absorbs w/in 10 minutes
The Healing Rose :: Lemon Ginger Salve
these are truly life changing. this w/ my RX meds and im finally able to get some sleep/relief… obviously ive used basically everything else here too!
Octavia :: CBD Suppositories
i get this from my local dispensary! i am luck enough to live in a state where this is legal!!
Dispo :: Mary's Medicinals :: 1 to 1 Transdermal Compound
this is also a find from the dispo! it feels like an icy hot roll on but milder. its great when i need the extra kick but my skin is sensitive!!!!
Dispo :: Buddies :: Fire & Ice
i really like thicker oils that take longer to absorb into the skin. longer it takes to absorb, the longer i have to work it into the site of pain!
Castor Oil
this recently replaced my biofreeze & icy hot creams, it blends the consistency of a traditional roll-on w/ the product of a cream – camphor, menthol, magnesium cream = really comforting for the endo belly!!!
Rael :: Pain Relief Roll-On
Portable Heating Pads+
5/5 this is basically the original model w/ bigger pads, red light therapy, & a remote to control settings! **note if you get more than one, you can't use them together as the remotes work off the same bluetooth frequency!
MyOBI :: Apollo 2.0
5/5 this belt is absolutely incredible! i can go from bedridden to walking around my house from putting it on!
MyOBI :: Apollo (original)
5/5 this is a vibration & heating portable belt! its much softer of an aid compared to the apollo models! use this literally everyday!
MyOBI :: Artemis 2.0
i love having this on hand… when all else fails the heated mode on this thing on 1 or 2 speed is very comforting!!!!
Amazon :: Naplor :: Hot & Cold Massage Gun
i prefer the rechargable belts, but these have saved my butt more than 20 times this year!!!! it is always good to have heat on stand by…
Thermacare :: Heat Patches
Plug-in Heating Pads
best heating pad i have ever used… frees up my other ones for other regions of my body!!!
REB :: "360 Degree" Heating Pad
this and my XXL are basically always on, shocked they haven't died yet w/ constant use…
Target :: Pure Enrichment Heating Pad XL
bigger PORE heating pad than the other one, has an auto shut off feature or an always on setting!!!
Target :: Pure Enrichment Heating Pad XXL
Skin Irritation
love this stuff for all skin reactions and MCAS flare w/ hydrocorotisol cream!
Eucerin Eczema Relief
this just helps w/ irritated skin from heating pad to sun related burns
Aloe Vera Gel
hands down one of the best oils for a deep tissue/abdominal massage… very thick, slow to absorb and hydrating for bloating, endo belly, or de-puffing
Castor Oil
Dispo Finds
all of these are found at my local dispo… these are options if you live in a state where cannabis is legal!
i love the passionfruit, grapefruit, and strawberry kiwi flavors/strains for 6/10+ pain management
Dispo :: Good Tide :: Rosin Gummies :: Edibles
these are very predictable edibles!!!
Dispo :: WYLD :: Gummies :: Edibles
syringes or tinctures, doesn't matter… i think tinctures are better, absorb easier and u can really get all of it, but the syringes are cheaper…
Dispo :: Emerald Bay Extracts :: RSO :: Syringes or Tinctures
found at dispo, topical i love
Dispo :: Mary's Medicinals :: 1 to 1 Transdermal Compound

Rx :: Zofran
this was a game changer post-op!!! talk to your anesthesiologist/dr. abt it!!!
Rx :: Scopolamine Patch
knocks you out, but its pretty effective for motion sickness/general nausea!!
OTC :: Dramamine :: Original
won't knock you out, but very effective for nausea!!!!!!
OTC :: Dramamine :: Less Drowsy
slight wauft of this and it sometimes does the trick!
Essential Oils :: Peppermint
very calming, sometimes that helps and flips the switch on nausea that was relatively persistent!!!
