If that was aimed at me, I took no offence at all. Actually I found it fitting as my original comment was a bit of an inside joke. Strawberry bought a pair of war/blowing horns I crafted last year.Touché
I should try and cut back my emotions a bit? Didnt mean to seem like the Guy that gets into every single argument possible online, I am actually very friendly (or so I try to be every day!) 😭😅
That would be great if she's open to doing that.My wife makes the best lip balm. The stuff is amazing. I'll see if I can grab the recipe from her to post here.
Ha, wasn't even aware.Ooh okay! I thought you were joking about the fact that I got into a Fight with 15 redditors over Something lol.
I'll ask her today!That would be great if she's open to doing that.
Maybe you're playing your new war horn a bit too much
The CVS near me carries it!Oh good grief, I forgot about bag balm! I wonder if I can still buy it?

5 TBSP Castor OilHoping you are able to post this. Not like I have the energy to make anything, but it’s worth a shot.
in terrible pain as her Parkinson’s has drastically flared up
She has both PD and essential tremor, so she has mostly full body tremors; neck, arms, hands, full torso from upper back to abdomen and into her hips. The medication combo works for the most part in keeping away rigidity and the bulk of tremors, but when major seasons shift or she alters the medication dosage, she gets flare ups. The constant severity of the tremor activity then causes wicked muscle and tendon tightness, knots, and fatigue in all those above-mentioned regions. The pain comes from all of that. During the flare ups she also deals with various levels of insomnia because the tremors don’t allow her body-brain to remain sleeping. This adds to fatigue and more muscle exhaustion, since the only time tremor ceases in PD is during sleep.Nord, sorry to hear about your wife. What kind of pain does the Parkinson's give her?

She with PD and essential tremor, and me with severe dysautonomia, PoTS, M.E., and neurological vision loss… we make quite the pair these days! And we are only in our 50s. 🙄
Sorry to hear you're both going through so much right now.It took a while to get. I’ve been struggling a lot of late with severe levels of dysatutonomia and all that goes with it. My wife has also been struggling and in terrible pain as her Parkinson’s has drastically flared up with the changing of the seasons. It seems to happen with every winter to spring and late summer to autumn shifts.
The climate here has certainly been shifting strongly in the past 5 years. We’ve been here for 17 years now, and the past 5 years have been far more humid/damp year-round, wetter by far, far more mediocre air quality days in summer, longer allergy season, far more cloudy days year-round… so less sun, and longer more drawn-out damp winters. Our overall barometric pressure is averaging far lower than it used to as well. So, yes, we do feel the changing climate here is throwing rocks along our health path. We continue to look at new place to move, but with the housing market the way it is, that task isn’t easy. That and of course everything involved in moving… energetically.When are you and your wife leaving for your train trip? I hope all will go will and you'll both return ready for a better season.
Yes, the changes in weather have been difficult this year. Mine will start as much as 2 days or more in advance, and it's getting tiring and painful. Even my husband's knee has given out on him. He walks like Chester from the old 'Gunsmoke' cowboys. He never admits to anything being wrong....so I know he's in a lot of pain. Tell me, why are you men like that? (No, I'm not blaming you personally). Sorry that your wife is having a hard time of things also. Is your land making you worse, do you think? Radon, things like that?
