I picked up some epsom salt lotion a little while ago with every intention of trying it at that precarious moment right before a full on flare. Since I am just really learning the difference between my normal pain & a flare, I really didn't know when that was...until recently. So tonight, I tried it. So far it seems to help reduce a flare.

Any suggestions on timing/proper application?

Also curious about the whole desensitization stuff I've been reading about.
