Thanks for making me laugh as I pour my self a hot lemon and honey less the gin a make me feel better drink I usually only have when I get a cold or the flu....since this is much like that I figure why not have this drink without the gin, not the same flavour or effect but that's ok. I am going to be 50 in November so I am on the cusp, the pain is more of a 3-4 at this point however if it compounds over the treatments I will certainly complain and get some acceptable pain management like you suggest. I just had my honey rub some Voltaren on my my shoulders like A535 without the smell and intense heat, seems to be working.
What I find amazing is the spirit of women who can support one another with out even knowing one another....it is magic and I so appreciate it! Thanks for the tips
