Today, however, nothing is helping the OA in my back, trying to keep busy to keep my mind off it, but thats not working to good.

Forgot to mention that I make the Epsom Salt cream for my daughter's arthritis and occasional skin problems. I cover it with just enough water and boil it, then add Coconut Oil. Stir till it starts to harden, which in cold weather isn't long. Then I put it in a pretty container and ship it to her. I think the Magnesium in it can be absorbed quicker this way. Probably the Coconut Oil in itself is good because it is a clean food.
