Linda,
Are those the heating pad that you put in the microwave. I have burned my shoulders because they were too hot. We are kind of afraid of now. When it be great if there was something that would be the right temperature but would not burn us as we are so sensitive. Now I'm just using flannel sheets on each side shoulder and a down comforter from my chest down. An extra blanket on my shoulders if I am really cold and I drink a couple mugs of herbal Snapple mixed berry hot key after I am finished with my care each night or early morning. I usually get a hot after I've slept about four hours and I have to have the blankets and my gown off my shoulders. Sleeping at the problem last not I slept from five until 930 and I have been able to go back to sleep and then to get my aide started on-time. It is supposed to be 80° and I want to enjoy the sunshine, my sleep doctor thinks I have SAD so I think maybe summer will help me sleep better. I have hydrocodone 500 mg but I don't take very often, my doctor just gives me 30 per month. Sometimes if I can't sleep at all, I will take one. I believe I am addicted to sleeping meds as I have never slept a night without them since my injury 32 years ago but I really don't care as long as I sleep sometime. I don't like having dark circles under my eyes. I buy a lot of creams to counteract and aging, but I really don't think they work, just provide moisture, which is also important. I can be a sucker at the makeup counter. Ha ha I like to buy those gifts with purchase. Ha ha always looking for the right undereye consealer. All you girls will know what I am talking about. I will be surprised if the guys know. Ha ha I was also given propoxyphene for night sweats when I had started menopause from my rehab doctor. I had never heard of for that but it really works. My doctor had me also take an over-the-counter Estroven that I get at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club. My aunt that is into holistic and natural had me get on flax seed and coenzyme C-10 (which is kind of pricey) I do take a lot of vitamins. The programs to turn fans on and off would be great for everybody, but I don't have that system. It seems like most of us get cold and hot. <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
