Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2004hand, paraffin, etc.
Maybe it is the rain. Whatever, the reason, my hands just are not working this morning. Jamie is actually doing all my typing for me this morning as anything more than a few line is killing my fingewrs. I am going to get out my paraffin bath but realizeI am out of wax. Called walgreens and they dont have any. I thought we had a discussion lasst year about using regular paraffin but I can't seem to dredge it up on google. Can you sue regular wax or is it too hot? Well for now I think i have to take some pred as my hands are to sore to frive and I am typing with one index and thumb. Wonder what happened overnight to mae my hands so bad? m > Maybe it is the rain. Whatever, the reason, my hands just are not working > this [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > m Are you getting part of this storm we are getting. Nasty weather. You can use canning paraffin, add mineral oil I think it is. I believe but am not certain it lowers the melting point. So it doesn't have to get as hot. But watch the temperature anyway. Jo we are getting the same storm system jo. i have been find through the cold but it has been months since ive awakened withthis kind of pain. So canning wax and mineral oil? I have that. Broke down and took a medrol tab- m oh my god, kate. just re-read my post on your reply. I am mortified-I have to not type until the pred takes effect- m not to worry, melinda. we're just grateful to have you on asa with us. kate > oh my god, kate. just re-read my post on your reply.

Then found the gift from your secret Santa? Maybe that's part of it? I know when I get stressed, it doesn't necessarily hurt that day but a couple of days later. Also, when we get weather, I go off about 2 days before it gets here. I'm very accurate in Fall and Winter, prognosticating the weather that is. Not so much Spring and Summer. Here's hoping you get to feeling better soon. Oh, not sure about the Parafin (regular vs another type). I'll look it up and see if I can't find something for you, okay? Smokie Darling (Annie) M: According to Shopping.com http://tinyurl.com/6j876 , it doesn't seem to be any different. They sell Paraffin wax, and it isn't listed as for hands and feet, just paraffin wax. I'll keep looking, and see if I can't find something else. Smokie Darling (Annie) thanks, Annie. I think I am going to put it in the paraffin beth thing and ad some mineral oil and aloe and see what happens. thanks again for the help m > thanks, Annie.

It was a little hotter than usual which I actually loved. Pred is now kicking in. I hate that drug but it is so effective. I just can't imagine that my hands are this swollen because of the storms. Can't figure this out at all- I sure hope this is not going to be another pred winter or I am going to way 250 before spring m > It worked, Kate.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > m glad the paraffin worked with aloe for you. now i have to try that.<smile> pred definitely falls into the catagory of love/hate relationships, it seems.(((((((((melinda)))))))) i can't imagine the weather/barametric pressure being the main culprit in your hands swelling. have you been using your hands more than usual or in a more stressful way?---like gift wrapping a lot of things? and how are your feet doing/are they swelling a little? maybe it's time to give your rd a call about it?--if the swelling doesn't go down, i mean. kate Even if you did weigh 250 lbs. Melinda, we would still love you! Gwen > It worked, Kate. It was a little hotter than usual which I actually loved. > Pred is now kicking in. I hate that drug but it is so effective.
