  Subject: [Homestead] Pain management


  I saw my rheumatologist yesterday-regular visit.  I've been having more 
  flares recently, mostly in my feet, with sore, tender, growing nodules 
  at my metacarpophalangeal joints of my forefingers on both hands.  

  Bev.
  Over the years that I have dealt with pain....these are the things I have 
noticed.  The elimination of sugar.  Especially in soft drinks, of course the 
diet stuff is even worse.
  If fact it was just about 3 weeks ago I went on a candy and processed food  
binge..
  Had to use a cane to get up my stairs.  
  Eating lots of greens in a raw state or as close to raw as you can get, 
gives me more energy and a sense of well being.
  When I do something stupid like move a 50 pound bag of something and get to 
hurting I use a salve called Aches Away.  It is strong enough to make your 
eyes water if you get it to close to your face.   A friend of mine makes 
soaps and salves and I have never found any better.  Look up 
www.sweethollowfarm.com
   and look under salves.   The ingredients are listed for all of her 
products, I think.
  This weekend she is doing a 2 day fair at Exchange Place in Kingsport, TN 
so might not get to you before the weekend is over if you are thinking about 
sending an order.
  Other things I use are meditations when I go to bed.  One of my favorites 
is one on the chakra system.  By the time I get through about three of the 
seven I am sound asleep.  There are lots of CDs on healing music, that I use 
too.  In fact if has been years since I have just laid down and fallen 
asleep.  My mind drives me batty as well as pain sometimes.  Participating in 
something keeps my mind quiet as well as off the pain.
  Going to bed around 10 pm is good too as the hours between 10 and midnight 
are supposed to be when your body does its regeneration thing the best.
  Doing the ginger and turmeric thing is a big help for me too. 
  Of course I could get my knees replaced and supposedly be in much better 
shape, but I just can't get over my fear of hospitals,
  Also the day that I go over 180 my body starts to let me know.  Sort of 
like a warning alarm...keeps me on a decent food path most of the time.  It 
seems that I read somewhere that for every pound you are overweight is adds 4 
pounds to the knee joints.  
  Pain can keep one on a pretty narrow path sometimes!! 
  So there you have my 2 cents worth on the subject of pain.

I have a question to throw to the list.  Yesterday I looked at a horse drawn
buggy.  A friend had been given a forklift and the buggy was at the same
location.  See my journal for forklift fun.



I know little about them and this one has little information.  They want me
to buy It cheap and restore it but I have no decent place to do the work but
if it is a terrific deal I may take it on.  What I need are some leads to
what it may be and what it could be worth both in its present condition and
restored. Anyone know of any web sites or groups that me be able to provide
information.



Here are some pictures.

I am currently in the Los Angles area and will be headed for the Bay area in
about an hour.
