As I make these, I can try and explain what they are....there are a lot out

on the market, that have rice in them, which after so many uses, the rice

withers inside and becomes stale and can mold....wheat, well wheat can cause

a small fire if too dried out in the microwave,,,,and flax seed ones can

explode. I use corn, shelled corn. Corn is larger than the others, so it

holds heat longer, and you can use it for the following:

Microwave It For!

Backaches, Migraines, Stress, Bursitis, Insomnia, Sinusitis, Earaches,

Cramps, Neck Pain, Colic, Muscle Pain, Flu

Freeze It For!

Heatstroke, Black Eye, Burns, Bruises, Tendonitis, Hives, Nose Bleeds,

Swelling, Fever, Headaches, Toothaches, Sport Injuries, Carpal Tunnel

Syndrome

Reuseable as a heat pad or ice pack and can be used over and over.

GREAT for fibromyalgia, sore or tired muscles , relieves tension and stress,

breast feeding moms, or if you have other conditions such as, arthritis,

lupus, diabetes, thyroid problems, scleroderma, poor circulation, heart

disease, carpal tunnel, chronic fatigue, bursitis, or you just need to warm

up or cool down.

Simple to use.

Just place in your microwave for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your wattage)

and you are ready for about 45 minutes of soothing 120 degree heat for all

kinds of pain.

That is an awesome idea LadyMoonkist. Welcome to the group! I have not been

able to be on lately as my husband is looking for a new vehicle and has been

hoging the computer, he has been on acation since before Christmas and he

finally goes back to work today. Thank goodness. And I have a drs. appt. today.

So I apologize to you and any other new members that I have not gotten to know

yet. I have over 700 emails I have to go through. So bear with me all I will

get caught up.

Again Welcome,

Hi Lori !

Thanks for the warm welcome! My hubby went back to work Tuesday night, he is

on graveyard shift, and we hate it...he normally worked the 2nd shift, but

things turned around at work to where he is back on 3rd shift...but that

works out ok. I am usually awake nights anyways cause of the pain, and fall

asleep around 7 or 8 am and sleep for a few hours....

I go to the doc tomorrow...time for more high blood pressure meds, and to

check on my other meds to see how they are working.

Hello to all the other new members....

And I looked online and the other places to get shelled corn.....

Feed mills, as I mentioned.... Seed stores..... Nurseries..... And farmers~

HiJennie,

Bed buddies are a kind of pouch made with a cotton/flannel or other covering

and filled with flax seed, corn or rice or some other thing that holds heat and

is flexible. They come in various sizes from quite small for your head, wrap

arounds for your wrists or hands, wide ones for your shoulders and flat ones for

your back,etc. You put them in the microwave and they retain heat for a pretty

long time and you put them where you need them. Some people have a variety and

snuggle with them in bed, particularly the flannel ones. They can also be made

big, just to snuggle with, but then you don't get the advantage of the heat. I

know lots of people who have them. I know they are available on line and I know

a couple of people who make them. They are not very expensive and are worth the

price. If you don't have allergies to scents, they are nice to spritz with

lavender, for calming, and other scents right before you put them in the

microwave. Of course spritzing with

water provides the moist heat without the scent.

I am allergic to the herb ones and to the flax seed and scented ones ( some

come scented) for aromatherapy. But I love the corn ones. They really hold the

heat and I'm not allergic to them.

I can put you in touch with places to get them if you want or you can make

your own if you are handy. I can't sew so I'm helpless in the making them

department. Someone is making me a new corn one now that I hope to have soon.

Take care,

Marti

I find it funny that you described it the way that you did... " lower leg

right where the tendons and stuff connect with your leg. " I asked my

son-in-law

almost that same question this past week and he laughingly said, " Mom, that

is your ankle. " Well, yeah, it's my ankle, but I wasn't meaning the bone that

most of us know to be the ankle, so I was dumbfounded to try any further to

explain the pain. But, he lovingly tried to rub the area in hopes of helping

to relieve the pain for me.

Hi Debi,

WOW, I have had that kind of pain. The pain is so intense that it hurts to

walk and strech your ankles out. I pray you are doing better!
