Hello you Dear Mom, I can tell that you want to help someone so very much to find comfort. God bless you Mothers, you are all so special.
I am new here, and have 21 years under my belt living with RSD.
You want to be prepared...RSD is a make it up as you go along thing most of the time. We feel different everyday, so better some worse. Weather does play a big role and what you ate the day before. How much activity you had or lack of it the day before..it follows no rules.
Epsom salts not only feels good it is good for you full of Magneisium. On real bad days I soak my feet in wild mint leaves that I find in the woods.
I am to tired tonight to go any more. Please ask anything you want to or need to. I have big ears and shoulders.
God bless you MOM. RSD with LUV, Andrea

I know many of you have mentioned Epsom salts, heating pads, down pillows in car rides, etc.....but are there specific brands or types of things or fabric contents that you find most soothing or beneficial to you??? I would like to start acquiring an RSD "survival pack" of items (preferably finding things on sale a little bit along) that might help and come in useful when the need arises (or better yet......BEFORE the need arises!).
I thought it could be useful to read each others experiences and what works for them, and perhaps we could ALL pick up a few tips we hadn't thought of before.
Thank you all in advance for responding!! |
