First, thank you all for the advice. I'll look into niacin and/or a heat lamp. Chester asked: Doesn't anybody take baths anymore? I don't... It's hard for me to get down that low and up again. Also, I don't really feel secure sitting and balancing on a slippery surface. Plus, I don't like the thought of wallowing in all of the dirt and dead skin I just washed off of my body. Ew! Betty: I'm so glad you feel comfortable sharing with all of us. I love hearing other people vent, because it helps me to validate my own feelings. If you ever want to talk, feel free to IM me or e-mail personally. <hugs> ~Joy~
