Guest guest Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Thanks for the tip. I am going to buy me one and probably a few others on the site. > > Melody or anyone else having trouble with opening jars.... > The " Jar Pop " , by Spring Mill home products, is advertised as being the worlds easiest jar opener... > I received mine with some RA mail (junk mail), but I absolutely love it... I actually went on-line after using mine for a month and bought my Aunts (all in their 80's) one also... They equally love this great little tool... 5 stars on making difficult tasks easier. > > Also, for all the book readers that find it hard to hold their books, check out this site -- www.peeramid.com ... > Hope this helps some... > Bonnie > > --- In , " narrow_gate_ranch " <ahearttowardhome@> wrote: > > > > Have any of you used these to help with pain (and to give support)? I have considered buying some from Wal-Mart to use on my wrists and elbows, but don't want to do that if it will just be a waste of money. They have a whole section of different kinds of wraps/supports in the pharmacy dept. I've looked at those that would be used on the wrists/hands and those for the elbows. > > > > Also, do any of you use (I guess it would be considered a vitamin...??) over the counter supplements? I bought some Glucosamine HCI 1500 mg with MSM 1500 mg it is supposed to help with " joint mobility " . My Dad has taken MSM for years and it has greatly helped him, he shared it with me. I've been taking it...hoping... It says, Extra Strength, Building blocks for long-term joint health, Clinically shown to promote mobility and comfort. > > > > Dear people, I'm just trying to find some help/relief until I am able to go see my Doctor. (My husband will be starting a new job Tuesday and that will mean that we will have GOOD insurance. I will wait until we are covered through them to have my necessary tests done.) > > > > Lifting things out of the washer, emptying the dishwasher, opening jars, cooking, driving, holding a book, typing, writing, reaching up to scratch my head, yesterday I really struggled hooking my bra and then afterwards I hurt terribly. I have also dropped plates of food feeding my family. I'm really struggling with knowing that this may be what my future looks like. And I think of all the ways I will have to change the ways I do things. > > > > I am also taking iron to help with my anemia (10.3) (which I have struggled with for years). These two bottles, along with the (OC) pain medicine bottles are hard to open. And I find " little things " like that frustrate me, mostly because they are simple, and I have always been very independent. > > > > Yesterday my husband mentioned going to the Zoo (we love the zoo!). I got excited and started to enthusiastically agree and then stopped myself...thinking/wondered how I would do it with pain. > > > > I would love to hear your thoughts on using these wraps (and supplements).
