    Dear Joan

    I have not heard of that but at least the doc listened and took it all on board. Hopefully what he has said is causing the problem and the meds work for you. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. In 6 weeks if there is no difference you can take it up again with the doc, can't you?

    Let's hope it solves the problem for you - you have been suffering with this a long time, haven't you?

    Love

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi Joan

    When I was at the pain clinic a few years ago. Not for th RA and OA I've got now but it was to relax muscles. I had complimentary treatment.

    The lady came to my home and mixed Almond oil with Lavender. I cannot remember what the dose was but I'm sure a herbalist could tell you.

    You gently nassage it in then put a towel on the area.It felt warm and the feeling went deep into the muscle, not just on the surface.

    It might take more than one go to get it to work

    It might help. I'm also on the amytriptlene.

    love trisher xxx
