It's Garden Clean-up Time!!
A mention of Advil was made on another thread as a remedy for the pains that come with gardening. You just don't know how envious I am of those individuals who can take anti-inflammatories.
The Winter before last, I showed up in my MD's office with a little more-than-usual back and leg pain. He put me on a steroid - why, I don't know. I'd told him that I was having some problems with nausea and he'd taken me off every anti-inflammatory he'd ever prescribed for me over the years. Strangely, he sent me to a stomach specialist about the nausea so I was all set to take advantage of that guy after the steroids had completely wrecked my stomach!
Needless to say, the LAST in a long line of anti-inflammatories went out the window and its place on the medicine shelf was taken by stomach meds. Finally (finally!), after nearly 18 months of those drugs - I finally went on an as-needed status for the least high-tech of the stomach meds.
Sooooo, no more anti-inflammatories, probably for here on out - - and a steroid - fuggettaboudit!
The gardeners here on this forum, really helped me with my allegy problems in the Summer of 'o7. I take loratadine now to get me thru the difficult days. What about aches and pains?
I'll tell you about Asian remedies at the Oriental market that really help but you gotta be able to deal with heat, heat, heat!! Any other ideas?
