How is everyone doing right now? I have not seen much activity on the board, and wondered how you are all feeling? I have noticed that when a storm comes in...
Katheryn, I can sympathize you on the root canal and abcess. I had that little experience many years ago with my two top front teeth. My neuropathy seems to be...

Lois, I've had swelling for years in the bottoms of my feet if I was on them a lot. I worked on my feet for years before getting a "cushy' sitdown job. It just...
