Thank you Dreamer2009. I don't think there is a joint in my body that doesn't hurt. I can't wait to give it a try.

the epson salts work very well. I deal with nerve pain and this gives my body some down time not a lot but it does work.

yes works better if pain area in water.
I filled bath as high as possible and schooched down as much as I could to get my neck and shoulders in.
i suppose another way you could try is to lay down in tub and lay legs over side and run water but don't drown !!

I don't understand...please explain better as to why only 1 bath.

Thanks Dreamer, always looking for more "pretty" ways to solve pain issues. I have RA, hurt all over, do take pain meds and comman meds for arthritis. Of course that leads to other side issues..... making up a batch today!
