Good frosty morning!
View attachment 115668
It's a bit chilly to work on the hoop coop, so I am puttering around the house this morning.

My body did not appreciate my outside work yesterday, and I woke up about 1am with an inner thigh (adductor magnus) cramp starting. It wasn't as bad as in the past when the pain was so severe that it caused me to break out in a cold sweat, so I was able to carefully hobble to where the DMSO was. I rubbed some in, both thighs, and waited about 5 minutes before heading back to bed.

The cramps stopped. Totally. And I slept fine the rest of the night.

Anecdotal, I know.
I had those in both thighs yesterday afternoon! Tears, hyperventilating.... sounded like I was in labor 😵‍💫
It is a terrible experience.
I blame it on the downstairs bathroom at work being out - not drinking as much as normal & having to climb 2 flights of stairs and walk to the far end of the plant & back to use the upstairs one.

Sunny & cool but warming. Arm much better! The pain sensitivity very low and no stabbing shots of it. The plantain/comfrey oil is doing a great job, plus the carrier oil is making my skin smooth🙂 Keeping the irritating inflammation at bay is what it takes, plus no heavy lifting for a few more days. 🤷 All good. I just rarely have any pains or injuries.

Woke up in my recliner at 11:30 last night. Went to bed. Wide awake until after 4AM, woke up at 8AM. It’s rainy and very windy. Rain should be gone by noon. Didn’t do anything on farm yesterday, went to town. I guess I’ll do things in the house today.

A little more on DMSO:

Dr. Pierre Kory is mentioning it as well, and he's no quack.

I'm not selling it, just giving people information to consider.

And a very good morning to all!

Very windy night. Then early morning thunderstorms and power out. I got little sleep so I’m bumbling around the house, yard and barn securing loose objects and checking fences. Calm now but howling wind returns soon and will last around 24 hours. I nicknamed the ranch Weathertop. Living up to it’s name today.

Because of my back pain, I wind up, moving from the bed to the recliner back to the bed then back to the recliner. I never know I am when I wake up in the dark, except when Boone gives me kisses. If he kisses me on the face, it means I’m in the recliner and I’m hanging off the armrest. If it’s the back of my head, that means I’m in bed. So grateful for Boone. He keeps me from getting completely lost.
