Re: gallium & frozen shoulder - update for Dan

[Guest guest]

That's great Penny. I'm jealous!

I STILL haven't received the ayurvedic herb for the pseudos -- it better arrive

today! -- so I

guess I'll see what benefits I get from that, esp considering 's warning

that my skin

would peel off!

Having said that, if it's still bad in a few weeks (it does seem to be

microscopically

" defrosting), I just may give it a try. So glad it seems to be helping you

Penny!

d.

p.s. Just wondering if those thin translucent " medical-supply " type gloves would

work?

You know, the ones that fit your hands " like a glove " !? They're not so bulky or

cumbersome as some of the kitchen rubber gloves............ ?

really don't

want to waste it.

Those are the gloves I have. I don't think they're very efficient. I feel like I waste a lot of gallium (and $$$) trying to use those because I can't feel it. Not to mention, the gallium basically melts the fingers of the gloves together. Maybe some kind of small spritzer or squirt bottle would work? I've got to figure something out because I'd like to keep applying it regularly and right now it's not very easy. I have been coating my hands with vaseline ahead of time. I think that helps provide a barrier. It's not that getting the gallium on my hands is bad. It's just after repeated applications that they get extremely dried out. My shoulder's not affected by one coat of the stuff. pennykdrbrill <kdrbrill@...> wrote: That's great Penny.

How about a paintbrush -- one that can handle solvents?

Sounds kind of scary that the stuff melts the tips of the gloves! It might also

melt the

plastic parts of a spray bottle?
