Re: Me too Joyce and to Holly.

See what you started Holly. ha! We are all with you and can totally

relate.

However, ice packs help me. I have to just try everything like

trying to calm a baby. I see if the ice pack helps the heat and

swelling to the area first. Sometimes a heating pad helps, not often

for me. Sometimes icy hot cream helps but not always and for trying

to work with that pain, I don't have a clue because it always

requires you resting with the things I mentioned above. You have to

rest the joint so that it can recover.

But joyce it is difficult to reach the comb to my hair as well. I

used to be so concerned with my appearance and I still try to be well

groomed anyway but it is very difficult. I have thought of getting a

permanent relaxer to my hair but with all of the chemicals in the

relaxers and the medications in my body which oozes through to the

hair as well, just don't mix. I will just lose all of my hair from

breakage. So I have become very creative with hats and barettes (sp?)

peace and healing everyone,
