I feel like I did that to a friend of mine today. :-(

3. I think it might have been a stronger drink than lemonade!

5. Drinking 7 Up can help clear your sinuses.

It also helps keep neighborhood teenagers employed at the local convenience store.

4. lol!
I decided against your pepper experiment, btw (to deter the pain). Not that I wasn't tempted to try it at one point, but I decided I needed to save my stomach lining! :hi:

6. There's actually a creme
so that you don't have to ingest it.

Some people with extreme pain, primarily due to nerve damage, go through creme treatments to crank down the pain receptors.

I remember reading about one guy who could not walk because it felt like he was walking on broken glass.

They wrapped his feet in bandages soaked in 30% capsaicin, and we was able to walk afterward.




Hang in there! :hi:

7. Thank you for that!
I'm adjusting to the pain. As much of a whiner as I am, I have a high tolerance for it. The numbness in my right thumb is serving as a reminder I need to take it easy. In fact, I really need to log off soon. :-(

Thanks, again! :hi:
