20 years and counting!

Negative for Pain!
Back in September I purchased two Ionisers to use as Air Fresheners. After a couple of weeks I realised that my pain had been much better and I wasn’t taking as many pain killers. I didn’t think a huge amount of it as Emily has just gone back to school so my routine had settled…
