Re: Doctor visit

Yeah, cold is good at some points and I can see why she's
recommending that.  But, try moist heat...I'm surprised she didn't
talk to you about moist as opposed to dry.  I know muscles tighten
when you're sleeping....mine do:-)

Well, I hope you don't have to go regularly, but also hope you can
manage to go until you get this problem stabilized.
