This is meant to be a "kinder gentler" area to complain about our aches and pains than the free-for-all environment of the Mudcat Recovery Ward, and it seems to be working. I think several of our members are either feeling better or have branched out into dedicated threads to deal with their health issues.

We're getting an on/again off/again winter around here, so some of the complaints (dry skin, chapped lips, watery eyes) will go away without much treatment as soon as spring finally takes hold. And I hope some of you manage to shake these colds soon, if you haven't already.

VT, have you been reading about Curmudgeon's health issues? Linn made a remark over there about using a slab of stone meant to heat on the wood stove and then use to warm the bed or feet or whatever. The stone version of a warming pan, I think. Maybe a nice warm slab of soapstone or whatever it's made of would be nice on the floor under your feet.
