    I have been inactive for around 9 weeks due to a broken foot. Apparently had been broken for 3 1/2 weeks before xray got done. I am aware that the DP will come into play here as well, but trying to make sense of it all. Throughout this whole time I was very careful about what I was eating ...

    Best place to buy keto strips

    Sorry if this question is in the wrong place. My CareSens dual arrived today and I thought that there were going to be some keto strips in it to get started. Anyhow, there weren’t and when researching where to get them from I can only buy 1 box of 10 and they work out to be $1 a strip. Is this...
