Hi Grace,

You should probably get your shoulder looked at to be sure it's not sitting out

of joint, or partially out of joint.

Especially with all the pain you're having in that area.

And no, you're not the only with the problems re: deod and long hair....

that's why I have short hair so it can air dry, or be blown dry in a very short

time.

I've usually been able to hold my shoulder up long enough to get the doed. on,

or if I can't get the left arm over enough to put it under the right arm, I use

the right hand--pays to have a little extra flexibility doing that.

Used to be a time aching fingers could get relief from being popped, but no

more. Now they're really stiff and painful and also the joints are swollen when

I get up, or don't use them for a while. (arthrosis/ arthritis)

if I'd used silver ring splints and assistive devises years earlier it would

have helped to lessen the severity of some of this.

Also my hand and finger joints have loosened up a good deal more over the years.

I hope you'll be able to get into the study at NIH. It would help your doctors

understand the importance of doing things now-not wait until your joints are

shot to start....like mine did.

The last two years I've had new doctors--that's why so many things are being

taken care of now. They were ignored for YEARS! So the damage is far greater.

good luck on getting accepted!

Love,

Cindyh
