e.h. HEAT

[Guest guest]

I too love the heat and replace the same types of heating pads every year as

mine throw in the towel after a year of frequent use. I also use Thermacare on

my back especially when I have to go out and do a lot of shopping. They attach

with velcro and give up to 16 hours of relief even though you wear them only 8

hours.

It's got to be hard being a student and having pain. I did not start down the

pain road until 1999 and I had worked over 22 years as an RN before my injury

from age 16, plus the years of nursing finally did the ultimate number on my

back. I filed for disability 3 times and did not receive it until 2007 and by

then all my work credits had expired so I ended up with SSI, but it is better

than nothing and I got medicaid along with it.

I wish you the best in your studies.
