Well Ronnie, NOTHING IS BETTER than HUGS & KISSES!!!

Actually have a “huge bag of tricks” full of all kinds of tricks & magic remedies that I have tried over the years. For myself I have many different remedies I use on a daily basis.
Here’s a few of my daily tricks:
1. I try to stay busy. As if my family doesn’t keep me busy enough. I also own a company that keeps me very busy and I’m the president of the local triad that helps fight crime against seniors. A sedimentary status seems to make my pain worse and allows me unwanted time to dwell on my ailments.

2. Hot baths. My bedroom is on the second floor of my home. I am physically unable to climb the stairs by the end of the day. I have found a hot bath relaxes my muscles and joints so that I’m able to make it up the stairs at night.

3. Music - music calms my restlessness and allows me to relax. Along with meditation and biofeedback

4. Physical therapy— I see my physical therapist three times a week he keeps my muscles stretched and my joints three of fluid buildup as much as possible.

Sadly I am still working on the debilitating muscle cramps caused by muscle wasting. Each day I search my bag of tricks and will continue.
