    Ladies that know my nerve pain issue. - After 3 acupuncture treatments and sniffing peppermint essential oil, I have been able to short circuit the pain receptors and ease the pain. Friday I had 8 hours of NO PAIN. Problem is, I felt so good, I decided to plant a few herbs and beans in the garden. Within a half hour of doing that I had a severe pain attack, BUT I got my peppermint oil out, thought of a happy place and managed to bring the pain level down to tolerable without extra pain meds. Just thought you all would like to know.

    gma........Double WOW..........I am so happy for you..........OMG.........that is such great news.............just remember........take it easy......don't overdo it..............baby steps..............I know acupuncture can do wonders.................now the peppermint oil is new to me, but if the acupuncturist told you to do it, I believe it.......................believe me I am so happy for you......you have no idea...............Fantastic news.................share it......others need to know...................many don't believe it, but I did it once and was convinced...............my kids are true believers......

    I am tempted to try it for my LE, but am concerned with the little puncture wounds, but am going to ask her..........I did once, and she said "oooooo, not sure about LE arm......maybe not good idea"..............so we did not try it, but I am going to look into it further.........

    Again so happy for you.............hell I'm almost giddy...........LOL

    My Acupuncturist works on the opposite side for the LE and gave me something called Lamanaria 4 - It is supposed to help with lymph flow.  My PCP told me to give it a try, but it can effect thyroid because it is seaweed/kelp and has alot of iodine.  She will just keep an eye on my thyroid function to make sure.

    Gma.....sounds so good, I am sounding like a broken record, but I am so happy for you......I heard from other sources that Kelp is great for us....but yes you are right about the iodine.........hugs

    Ok ladies............while your at it you can use peppermint oil for getting rid of mice, and ants..........ok...............stop laughing...........its true.

    Put some on a cotton ball where you think the mouse is coming in.....especially if it is a hole like around a pipe...of wall.................they hate the smell

    Now ......ants............draw a line where you see them coming in.............voila.......they hate it too........drew a circle around one, and watched it go nuts trying to get out of the circle.............ok, call me a sadist.........I hate ants..............mice too...........its not expensive............takes very little....on a Q-tip for the ants.........abut $7.00 for a small bottle............might be cheaper online if you can get free shipping.......

    Make sure it is pure Essential Peppermint oil - Synthetic oils won't work. Edit: And it can't be other mints - it has to be peppermint.

    GMA - I am SOOOOOOO happy to hear that you are having some pain free time!!!  I am restarting acupuncture as well - in fact my appt is tomorrow.  I'll try the peppermint oil as well.  Thanks for telling us about it!!

     

    Also, Ducky, when I had acupuncture before, I asked her to not "needle me" on my no lymph side.  I haven't experienced any lymphedema, but didn't want to take a chance.

    Gma, So happy to hear you are feeling better.

    My STFU moment- After almost 14 years, I was let go from work last Thursday.  "Not a team player and I don't know how to supervise anymore."

    Trying to find my happy place.  At least it was sunny and 78 here today.  

    Take care, everyone.

    Julia, That's the pits. Don't you wish they would give you the real reason: they are going to hire someone younger and just starting out for close to minimum wage. Good luck in finding something you like even better. Hugs.

    Wren,

    Thanks.  I certainly would have more respect for the administration if he would have just ask me to leave instead.  NW Ladies are working on another meeting, you in?
