ORIGINAL: ShaharThorne Been doing okay, I guess. Got osteoarthritis in my left shoulder so its hard dealing with the pain. Did a steroid shot but it is not really helping. Also got insomnia like crazy yet I have to nap nearly every day...messed up sleep patterns. A bit OT but have you looked into leech therapy? I use it for my herniated disks especially before long distance flights and we adapted it from human treatment for the female Dobie about 6 years ago as she had crippling arthritis and now with 12 years of age runs like a puppy. It's icky but works and I rather deal with a leech biting me than steroid shots, the little bloodsuckers inject a pain killer and an anti-inflamatory with their saliva, I still squeal like a piglet when they are applied (cold wet creature gnawing on me and sucking my blood) but being able to move without pain and to sit for hours on a plane and then not walk like the hunchback of Notre Dame makes it worth it. To be honest, it's not very painful, it's just me being a big girl's blouse about them http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18484250 http://www.jwatch.org/jw200311250000004/2003/11/25/leeches-osteoarthritis _______ As for December Still not over losing big boy Alfie, the huge brown Dobie to a particular aggressive form of bone marrow cancer and wandering around the house with the dogs and cats looking for him... Never been much of a fan of the season of gluttony, so I guess I'm going to ignore all the "must buy" ads for Xmas and as usual pretend it doesn't happen
