Re: Beginning to laugh.... Jen

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Well, I have lived in the Heat and in the Cold. My Arthritis and

Fibromyalgia actualy do better in the cold. Sometimes when my feet

and hands get to hurting so bad, and I am TRYING to be kind to my

liver and kidneys by taking the minimum dose of painkillers, I will

go out in the snow, barefoot, up to my ankles, squat down and thrust

my hands in the snow up to my wrists. Ahhhhhhh just a few minutes of

that feels so good!
