Book Reviews of The Arthritis Helpbook (mass mkt ed)
Book Review: Very helpful book
Summary: 5 Stars
I am finding this book very helpful. I have myofascial pain (muscle) and find this book useful because I have a lot of difficulties with getting tasks done with my arms/hands due to ability and pain. I have really wanted to do some flower gardening this summer and this book has some lists of gardening tools that will help to get the job done. This has a lot of hints to help with grooming, household tasks, etc. I highly recommend this book to anyone with Carpal Tunnel, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, etc. One additional hint not in the book is that I have found it extremely comfortable to sleep at night with my hand and forearm on a polystyrene microbead pillow. You can google polystyrene microbead pillow or Moshi pillow. I find this kind of pillow very conforming to my hand and comfortable. My pillow is quite large and not over-stuffed (there is actually space in the pillow without the beads.) Also, I find that Biofreeze quite helpful on my tissues when the pain gets quite bad. You can order Biofreeze online or may get at your local pharmacy. Best of luck with feeling better.
