Default Help

What do you do when you can't stand heat on your CRPS site. I have to keep my foot out of the water when I shower, because the temp of the water causes me severe pain.

Some magnesium is absorbed thru the skin.

When you have swelling you have a back up of blood in the small capillaries and this prevent NEW blood from getting thru with its nutrients.

Magnesium reduces swellling by improving circulation to tissues that are clogged up. Also magnesium works against calcium in the NMDA receptor, which can lower pain responses.

Many of us on PN use epsom salts all the time.

Default Silk!!!

I have found that nothing is as soothing against my skin as silk, so I have nighties and a nightshirt in silk. They breath soooo well, and help with the overheating/chilling I get. I also indulge in silk sheets, although I too would love to hear if anyone has compared the bamboo to the silk sheets. I have a split Cal King adjustable Temprapedic bed (the constant adjusting helps too) but finding silk sheets (or any that aren't the cheap low count cotten blend) has been impossible so far. Any leads are greatly appreciated!!!

For shoes, I LOVE my Berkinstocks. I live in the US, and end up ordering from the UK sometimes, since they have cute styles.

My only remaining inability to address: a comfy bra!!! (I'm a 40G, as in gigantic!!! and have had 2 kids and am in my 40's, so braless isn't a nice look for me!) I've been contemplating the reduction surgery for years now, but since I had a major RSD flair this summer with a simple cortizone shot, I'm having to re-think the reduction idea.

Anyway, great ideas in this thread, even for us "oldies." (I haven't posted in a couple of years, so my count was wiped out I guess.)
