I found a brand new one, unopened paraffin bath for hands at the thrift for $15 so I grabbed it. I've used it several times since and it is just wonderful. Plus it makes hands so soft. Takes about an hour to heat the wax to the right temp. =20
I think part of my problem right now is my thyroid levels are way off again. Got my recent labs back yesterday and the doctor is increasing my thyroid med dose. And one (of many) symptoms of too high TSH is joint pain. On top of the arthritis...it is a double whammy. Takes a few weeks or so to notice a difference, when changing dosage, so we shall see.
