Try JointFlex ...it's the best OTC cream I have found, and with shoulder, elbow, hand,ankle, and 5 knee surgeries, I have tried them all (available at CVS, Walmart)

Came back to find this post to thank you. Got the nighttime version for a nagging pain in my hip (inflammation) I get while sleeping. Works pretty good! Thanks!

I need to get some to help with the lingering pain from my leg injury. I work from home so I don't care if I smell like menthol and eucalyptus

It only smells for like a minute. Not noticeable after that.

From what I understand from a friend of mine who is "in the business", blanks are referred to as "live rounds" and those are used on set all the time.

Semantics. "Live" in my definition is a lead slug in front of the wadding and powder.... I understand blanks can maim / kill as well and I think that should be at the discretion of the set teams.

I just don't understand how anyone can or would bring (my definition) of "live" rounds to a film. They should never be there - simple as that.

My hands have started to ache when the barometric pressure changes....35+ years of data entry will do that to you ....

I have arthritis in my hips and SI joints. Also the base of my thumbs. Someday I will need hip replacements.

Last Jan I got a shot into my SI joint and it did help for awhile. It doesn't work for everyone but it helped me. You can only do it every 6 months. I think it is time to make another appointment.

Woke up this morning to frost on the grass. Low 30s!

Enjoying my first tea of the season.

I drink black tea every morning. I have one now !

I usually have a cup of coffee during the warm months. But when it gets cold I like a good breakfast black tea. Enjoy!

Glad the tree went straight back and not to the left.

We also apparently lost power again after I left for an appointment.

I have been waking up several times a night with a tickle in my throat. It's driving me nuts. I noticed it really started when I stopped using my air conditioner, so I'm wondering if the AC was pumping some moisture into the room. I have a small humidifier on my nightstand and will try that, but any other ideas? I assume it's allergies/post-nasal drip related.

many, many years ago I had a ‘72 Lincoln Continental.
460 4 barrel.
No joke I got about 8 to 10 miles a gallon.
What a boat.
But that car saved my life. I had the green light crossing from Allston to Cambridge the Coke factory .
A guy in a Toyota ran the redlight on Storrow.
T boned me doing 60.
He went through the his windshield. Dead.
The passenger side door of my Lincoln was pressed against my right thigh. Frame broken into a “V”.
I walked away. crazy.

Sadly, considering the size/weight/year, 10 isn't really all that bad either. I love the old Lincolns, especially the ones with suicide doors. Some day...

I hope you were knocked out cold (feels weird to say that) and don't remember much of it. That's gotta be a pretty jarring wreck, something that isn't easily forgotten.

Are you running a fan in the room? The lady complains of her eyes drying out if the fan is on anything but a snails pace and facing away from her.

I always have this problem when I run the heat so I run a humidifier while I sleep. My problem is the dry air at night. I don't have any other allergies but this problem is consistent every time it gets cold for me.

Not saying that's your problem too, but it certainly sounds like it. The AC probably keeps a good moisture level in your room that's now gone.

Could be a combo of it being just a touch too dry on top of allergies/post nasal drip.

I'd keep up the humidifier and also try taking flonase at night to see if that helps. Get the sensitive nose one to lessen the chance of nose bleeds.

I got a humidity sensor off of Amazon last year to help me regulate the humidity and it worked out well,

Ragweed is brutal right now so you may be sensitive to it now that your ac isn't filtering out pollen and all of that.

Eversource is clearly overwhelmed b/c we didn't lose power again at least not yet

Yes, I run two in my apartment all day once I take the ACs out of the windows. It gets very dry in there very quickly otherwise.

So far we've gotten rain and some strong wind gusts but thankfully nothing worse.

I actually just got over a bad sinus infection like 2 weeks ago but have had a bad dry cough ever since. I also assume mine is related to the nasal drip but now that you mention it a humidifier might be a good thing for me to try.

Haven't been able to sleep through the night in a while.
