But had no other option only thing that is even remotely working. But, even on the meds I still have episodes not quite as bad as when I fist had to go to the dr about it. But, I can't work, I kind of get depressed about it, I have always worked, been able to just come and go as I please with my kids. Now if I go anywhere I have to be careful, I can't ride as a passenger, cause after 5 minutes the cramps come. I can't go further than 4 hours driving sometimes less. I can't be at all my childrens sports activities cause cold is the biggest thing to set it off. Everything else that sets it off we don't know yet.

Upon the first smell from the bottle: A slight hint of pumpkin with a little spice. The pumpkin is not overbearing at all. (to me) Initially when wet it smells like spiced eggnog. I also smell a little bit of pumpkin with a hint of caramel. On the dry down- it reminds me of sugar cookies with a little bit of spice. After having it on all day(about 10hours) it smells like vanilla pudding. I have to say I love love love this scent. It is strong enough to smell but not too overpowering-it does have a soft side to it but not so soft you can't smell it. Cause even after having it on for 10 hours I could still smell it!

I have read through this whole thread and just wanted to tell you how exciting it is to read all the different reviews of the scents. I have a much larger list of notes of oils to try now. Candy Butcher on me goes completely vanilla in which I love it! bliss is just that complete bliss of pure chocolate! Boomslang -on reminded me of hot cocoa. Grog in the bottle is pure butterscotch to me and once on had a nice brown sugar/cinnamon to it.
