Ah, Spring!

At last! Here comes the rain again, to wags away the crud at the side of the road (what IS that, anyway?) and feed the trees. But with rain comes a drop in barometric pressure. This is why so many arthritis sufferers feel worse in this weather; in fact, much research points to the fact that higher pressure is needed to keep things from swelling, and that all the 'itises' get worse when it rains. I know for me this is the case. My tendonitis, arthritis and headaches get worse in this weather. 

My simple solution is to use ice or a topical ice salve to keep things from swelling. It helps a lot, and it's easy. Why suffer if you don't have to?
