Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Hi , Sorry to hear about your discomfort. I took the stool softener from the ortho and when I went to see him, he asked if I was getting around the house, I told him, YES, thanks to YOU......he just chuckled. Nothing worse than a bloated tummy, a sore hip and unable to get rid of what is bothering you. Hope your remedy takes action QUICK! When we had the pool and spa built, got the doctor's note and the tax man said because my husband and kids used it, could not be taken off. Now my neighbor who is in school to be a CPA says that it all has something to do with the appreciation and value of your house and what it was before and all this other stuff. Bottom line.....I got nothing from Uncle Sam for this investment. Oh well, such is life. Gentle, tender, feel better fast, angel hugs, Debs in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Debs, I was told that I could deduct 1/4 of the cost of my pool and hot tub because there are 4 people that use it. I now deduct 1/3 of the operating expense since we're now a family of 3. I hope my accountant didn't give me bad info or I'll owe at least 15 years worth of bad deductions! a Re: [ ] Hot Tubs Hi , Sorry to hear about your discomfort.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I've posted about this before, but not sure I asked this particular question: do any of you know how I can find a saltwater hot tub? the kind that uses NO CHEMICALS? I may be in the south, but when it does finally get cold down here each year, it's a WET cold which spells P-A-I-N. I think a hot tub is what I need. wendy from birmingham, AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Try a hot tube that uses an ozonator and bromide for disinfecting. My mom uses none chlorine method in her pool and it works great.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Ruth, Not harmful as long as one doesn't stay in longer than 15-20 minutes. But this is the 'norm' for all people and any tubs I've been in. This is because the water temperature is 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Long exposure might result in discomfort, nausea, dizziness or fainting. Best to use with someone if possible. There *MAY BE* some risk due to the high temperature and humidity, so check with your doc. People with medical conditions such as, high blood pressure, heart disease, respiratory problems and those who are pregnant should avoid exposure to high heat and humidity. If you have an open wound or sore, even a scratch, stay out because infection is possible. So depending on where you and your CMT are in this 'mix', try it for short periods. I personally can only stay in for about 10 minutes. It just gets too hot. Afterwards, I also rehydrate by drinking a bottle of water. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Thanks so much, Gretchen, for your information. I don't have blood pressure problems, so I assume it's safe. I live close to San Francisco Bay, our mornings and evenings are often chilly and damp, and the hot tub is so soothing to my aching muscles. I also have access to a sauna, and I assume the precautions are the same. BTW, I just found out that my Kaiser Health Plan provides a discount for certain outside services, including massage. I'm planning to add regular massage to my self care program. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
