Here is another unhelpful hint:

Put everything on the ground 'cause it is going to end up there anyway.:D

Sally gave some good advice about running hands under cold water. Never thought of doing it to help keep the dropsies at bay, but I do know it helps me when I feel a bit over heated.

But I can totally relate that it happens sometimes. My tiger kitty is a scrounge, and she knows that where I sit is our home's equilivent of a highchair. Some food is bound to drop off my plate, LOL :D

Wrap it with foam and tape to help protect what nerves you have left. I went from squeezing 45lbs on whatever that hand held measuring device is to 90!
I've tried something similar. I had a "stress ball" at work that I brought home when I cleaned out my desk. I use it sometimes but it seems to make my hand weaker. :confused: After I work out with the stress ball I can barely hold anything in that hand for a good while. It actually feels like when you've held onto a weed eater for a long time and your hand and arm is literally useless for a little while after.

True, Kell, but it's probably building up your grip muscles, also??:cool:

Hey is your diet high in carbs,protein & drink lots of fluids?
Like I always say..How's your testosterone level? Works for me.

Once my Medicare takes effect in August I plan to go to the doctor and have a full blood work-up. I want to know what my Vitamin D and B12 levels are. I'll ask him to check my testosterone levels, too.

I don't eat an abundance of carbs.....mostly whole grains and fruits are the only carbs I get. I do drink lots of water and eat a fairly high protein diet.

Sounds good. My B12 is at the max of range (sorry dont have # infront of me) from taking 1 500 mcg (tiny) B12 and a B100 daily.
My D 25 OH total? was 110 from taking 2000i.u. 4x/day. I stopped it to see if its causing my sweats but im still sweating.
