Re: Helpful hints

November 5, 2002

Hi guys...I just read over the coping hints list to be sure these weren't there

and thought that I would mention them.

I frequently use cold compresses to help the " tightness " in the ole shoulders.

However, sometimes HEAT really feels better. Today is one of those days.

The new discovery that I have made it the Thermacare Air activated

compress....it's neat!!! They say that it is good for 8 hrs...relieves pain and

relaxes muscles...works for me.

And even BETTER news...they have a FREE sample offer.

That is how I started with it.

Since then I have actually bought some. ;-{ FYI BJ's Warehouse has pretty good

prices in eight packs. The nice thing is that you can walk around, actually even

go out with the silly think on. It doesn't get too hot...just nice and

comforting.

The other thing that I SWEAR by...

A small inflatable travel-type u-shaped pillow. I keep it by my

recliner...especially when I have had a tiring day, this is just enough to make

all the difference in the world in how I feel. I have tried the buckwheat ones,

etc...but this is soooooooooooooooooo light that you don't know you are wearing

it...but there is enough support to make the ole neck feel pretty good.

I use one like this little one

but there are a ton of others out there.I prefer the smaller one to the larger

that go all around your neck.

Just thought that I would mention these two things...they have helped me quite a

bit.

BERNIE...if you are listening..please feel free to add them to the list!

All best wishes,
