Re: Twin fins as go-to boards

Financial advice from fongss, drug advice from --++sunstroke++--. What could possibly go wrong? Fentanyl works for my best mate who has a severe back injury & is unable to work, or have quality of life.

Re: PAIN RELIEF

I've managed to get my hands on some natural oil, black gold you could say. Enough to last a year anyways. A drop under my tongue when I wake and a drop under the tongue before I sleep. I will now start to wean myself off the oxy very slowly. Will start treatment on Thursday as I have to drive the b...
