Dr. Junghans - Medical Cherry Stone Pillow



This is a heat pack that contains cherry stones.
I've used (and made) barley heat packs before, but cherry stones are new to me.

On the first few uses, it does have a smell (earthy) but this fades over time.

Our microwave is dead and while you can heat it in the oven, it is a pain in the butt to do so.
It takes a long time to heat up and when heated, doesn't stay hot for long.

Honestly I don't think cherry stones work so well for retaining heat.
when you have bad cramps, you don't want to be getting up to re-heat your heat pack every 15 minutes.

Price: 4/5 ($12.63 for a 20cm x 30cm pack)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 1.5/5

Eucerin - Deodorant - 0% Aluminium (ACH) - Empfindliche Haut (Sensitive Skin)



This deodorant has no aluminum, alcohol, or parabens.

It is a 'medical grade' deoderant for sensitive skin and can be used after shaving/epilating or if you have eczema. 

The scent is faint and clean.

I liked this and it works ok, I just personally prefer an antiperspirant.

Price: 1/5 ($12.93 for 50mL)
Scent: 5/5 (although I personally prefer a citrus, floral, or woody scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Neuropathy Update 


I had a second neck injection today.
It all went well, only a bit of a headache and the pressure from the bolus remain.

And this sweet little bandage!

I have hopes that this might be the end of this awful business :)
