Comment:
I have been on med for 4 wks and I have yet to see anything that working out and streaching as not already have had the same results. I don't feel that It has had any effect on my daily life.I don't know If there is a Sat. leavel that must be met or It does not work for me. If anyone could fill me in on the length of time it takes to see results It would be very helpful. Thankyou
