Hot Tubs

[Guest guest]

Since I had some major envy over Jackie’s “hot

tub living,” I just went to Bed Bath & Beyond (after enough pain meds

to get in the car) and got a paraffin hand spa.

Now I know it’s not exactly a hot tub and my @ss sure

won’t fit in there, but since my hands are aching, I figured it was worth

$29.99 less a 20% off coupon J

Time will tell.

And Jackie, I went back on the riba this morning since I

figured I can’t feel too much worse than I do already – God, I hope

that’s true!

Well Dorothy, for years I did not have a hot tub and used the bath tub for one and it worked great! The parafin hand spa will help your aching hands a lot,, I have one somewhere with all the other stuff I used to use when I worked in the salon,, its really great to soak your hands in the warm parafin and wrap them in the mits and just relax,, did they sell you the handmits too?

Actually, I have some hand mitts that have

microwave inserts.  They’re not bad.  I’m hoping the paraffin spa

will have been a good purchase.  I may set it up for the morning since that’s

when I’m the worst after having my hands in one position for hours.

I’ve thought about getting in the

tub, but when I really need it, I wouldn’t be able to get that low and

probably couldn’t get up either.  It would require some of those bath

bars on the side of the tub.  I have a hard enough time getting on and off the

toilet when things are bad.  And since my right leg is pretty well dead from

the neuropathy, I’d be so stressed thinking about how I was going to get

out of the tub that I wouldn’t relax much.

I spoke with my rheumatologist this

afternoon to see if I should go back on Celebrex.  He agrees that the

interferon is causing this & he’d like me to try to tough it out

since I’ve only got 2 months to go.  I will do the best I can, but I

explained to him that since I live alone, I need to be able to do some basic

life stuff.  The RA is moving from just my hands and knees to my elbows, neck,

back and hips.  If it weren’t for pain meds, I’d be screwed.

I don't have RA, just osteo, but I relate to your pain. It has eased sooo much since I'm off tx, but I'm going to have to have shots in my back soon. My wrists are also painful and my neck, me knees.....Get to thinking about everywhere it hurts and it gets me down. I'm 65 and it's normal to have some aches, but I don't think quite so many. lol I have hydrocodon, but I don't like to take it. I had some of those hand mitts, don't know where they've gone. I hear the wax hand spa is great, tho and am going to get one. Wonder if I can stick my neck in there???

I’ve been taking hydrocodone for 2

years & don’t know how I’d have made it without it. Unfortunately,

after 2 years, the dosage just doesn’t cut it any more and I’m

going to have to find something else once I get through tx. I’m hoping

at that time, the RA will subside and I’ll just be dealing with the

neuropathy again

At least before tx, I had some RA flares,

but nothing like I’ve had the last week or so.

I’ve got several of those “Bed

Buddies” plus the instant heat stick ons, a body-length heated massage

mat…..this is the first time that I have ever had such a severe flare of

RA so I’ll have to start using some of the things I’ve got. My

other issue is HOT FLASHES so while heat may feel good one minute, I could be

roasting the next! Just another minor annoyance to deal with during this

crappy time! And when I can’t move, throwing the covers on and off to

accommodate my fluctuating temps is tough!

I used to wonder why some of my older

female relatives used to ask God to “take them” or say they were “tired

of living.” It wears you down.

Oh…..good morning!! It’s a

bright, sunny day in NY and we expect it to warm up to the upper 30’s

'

well it wouldnt be 'safe' then for you to get in and

out of the tub,, but you might try getting some 'bed buddies' from

wallgreens.... they are long grain filled sacks that you heat in the

microwave and they stay warm for a long long time and they put out moist heat

too,, they work great and I have used them when I was just too exhausted to

get into the tub.. I've also used those heat strips, you know the ones they

advertise on tx where the guy dances around after putting the heat strip to

the are of his back that hurts? I use them on my wrists and ankles when they

hurt really bad as well as the back of my neck..

Maybe these options might be helpful for you since

you cannot get into a hot tub,, do you have a shower chair where you could

sit in the shower and let the warm water roll over you? That helps

too,,

we all have to find our own way that works for us

and its good to give input here because all of us are different and what

works for one may also work for another,, so share away!

I have a collar my chiro doc's wife made for me. It has herbs and grain in it and can be put in the microwave. I just have to find it....

Ralph Waldo Emerson Sharon, you can soak some muslim strips of cloth and wrap that around your neck and then cover it with celophane and let it soak in that way,, or have you tried those heat strips you can buy at the store?

I don't have a parafin machine I don't know where to look. Guess I could just melt the parafin in a pot, but I'm afraid of getting it too hot. Or starting a fire. eeek!

I DO have a collar, however with a battery in it and it does help. I sit up in bed and read every night and I can put it on and lean back against the headboard and get vibrated. Only problem is it eats batteries. lol
