It is just heat, so should not cause a reaction. ddean228 wrote: Sharon, I have tried epsom soaks for other things, can't see why they wouldn't help if my hands and/or feet were aching hurt. I do have one of those foot soaky things that bubbles, massages, etc., and I have some " energizing " mint tablets I put in when my feet seem especially painful (like now when they swell to the proportions of an elephants....lol). I also have a paraffin wax thingie that my mom bought me years ago. She uses it a lot with her hands (arthritis) and you can use it on your feet as well. They aren't too expensive and the heat seeps deep in and can provide lots of relief. Just some other thoughts - I know there are days that none of us can " get the pain to go away " ......and I'm like many, I have no problems with what the medical profession can do, but it is a science and not an exact one, so if I can find something that works that doesn't interact with what the doctor is doing, well, I'm going for it because ultimately, I am in charge of my own health, right? Here's shooting for a mostly pain-free weekend! That's my goal!!! (((Hugs))) Darlene > > I have used these alot, as sometimes the tiger balm, and other topicals cause burn mark and sometimes not, don't know why not consistant?? Like my bro says I always have had the weird stuff, weird illnesses, weird symptoms etc. But I do find when my calf muscles exspecially are really bad, I dump the stuff in and sit for appx 1 hr. It is also good for hand soaks for cramping I have had new. This should not cause any reaction. > 1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. 3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe 4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor. 5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support. Have a nice day everyone.

I think I'm going to get some knit gloves and cut the fingertips off. It may help with my cold hands. I've got to do something. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
