Wow that sounds like a good idea I will try that. Kayleigh is still having

problems with her ears and my pains are still the same this morning I can't move

my neck I look like a robot that can only move my body

Another use for the rice bag is to get your feet warm when you go to

bed. I had been having problems getting my feet warm when I first to

to bed. It seemed like no matter how many pair of socks I put on or

how many layers of blankets, it took forever for them to get warm

enough for me to go to sleep, even on the nights that my RLS wasn't

as bad.

I had some rice bags that I had bought for my mom. They are easy to make if you

sew. These are about 8 ins by 8 ins. I warm one in the microwave for about 4 or

5 minutes. I stick it in the bed under the covers and stick my feet to it or

under it. They get toasty warm in

no time!

I'm new to the group, but know this subject well. I made rice bags for all of

my relatives as a Christmas gift several years ago.

At the time I was receiving commodities because I was only receiving SSD and

that was my only income. So I got two 2 lb bags of rice every month. I saved

the rice and bought a little more.

It turns out that 2 lbs of rice fits perfectly in an pillow made of two squares

of felt that can be bought at a craft store or even Walmart.

Using 2 lb of rice, you would heat it for 2 minutes in the microwave. I use

mine on my neck or lower back and yes, I have used them to warm my cold

tootsies. Sometimes I can be sweating every where, but my feet are freezing, so

I understand that one.
