Adermo? Is that an ear ,nose and throat specialist. If it is then Yes, that's who you should see.

Until you do get in to see one try a saline nose spray. You can buy it in a drug store. Salt has healing properties and will kill any bacteria there may be there.

If you start to get a blister on the back of your heel, this'll get you through the rest of the day. Apply a gause pad over the affected area. Hold in place with Nexcare paper tape or equivalent (all available at CVS pharmacy). Put your sock on over the pad. This does wonders in protecting the raw area. Use each day until a healed and tough skin develops. This works best if appleid at first sign of abrason and before a big blister develops. You wouldn't believe how I got my blister. It was from driving on a long trip in hot weather. For most of the year, my trips are less than 100 miles and I never encounter this problem, but with old age and tender feet, and along trip, I got it. After 300 miles into a 600 mile day, it started. The heel of my throtle foot blistered. These days, when I go on trip, I take along my blister kit. Its a box of gauze pads and two diepensers of Nexcare paper tape in a zip lock bag. You do need special tape to stick and yet be compatible with your skin. Nexcare is a micropoe, paper, hospital tape by the 3M company. Yes, I could get some relief by using cruise control, but for safety and practical reasons, I restrict when I use the cruies control. I do not use it in heavy traffic, in fluctuating road conditions, or when tired. If you use cruise control when tired, you may doze off with bad consequences.

Need help deciding on a tub for sore joints and muscles
Q
Comments (5)
Is it a whirlpool tub with jets that you're after, or just a nice comfortable soaking tub? If you want one with jets, pay attention to where on the tube they are located - near the base of your spine, something that can reach sore muscles, etc. Beware of too deep tubs. Aprilneverends is right; you have to try climbing in and out of the tub you are considering, even if it means traveling to find a place that has your model. I researched and researched online until I found what I thought was the perfect tub. I made malls until I found a plumbing supply store that had the tub I wanted, got in, nice and deep and roomy. And then I couldn't get out. Could. Not. Get. Out. It was narrowish, and in the middle of the showroom, so there were no grab bars nearby. Finally I managed, but it wasn't easy, and I think , even with grab bars, it would have been difficult. Speaking of grab bars, they help a lot, even if you don't think of yourself as needing them. Plan where you'll want them to be, and have your contractor "brace" the area behind the tile where the grab bars will go.

This is what wood lattice looks like: Wood lattice You would cut it to size to the same size as the three faces of the porch roof and possibly mount it set-off from the porch itself by the thickness of a 2X4. Think of it as a horizontal trellis wrapping around the three sides of the porch roof. If you enclosed the columns in the same lattice, it would look more integrated. Then you would plant vines in the ground and have them grow up the columns and along the top edge of the porch. If you don't like that, there are all kinds of designs you could go with using some horizontal 2X2's to add more interest to that plain porch edge. You could also mount trellis or lattice work to the two sides of the porch to give it a more interesting look.

Masterbath eye-sore...help!
Q
Comments (0)
We are in the process of painting our home and while I love the choices in the rest of the home (SW Agreeable Gray). Our master suite is done in SW Accessible Beige and it runs into master bath with accent wall done in SW Ryegrass. Yikes. While I ABSOLUTELY love the bedroom, the accent wall is almost jarring and I admit I dislike it immensely. The painters are still working in the house and my husband has told them to repaint it. He wants it to be in Accessible Beige like the bedroom but I have always envisioned a warm, soothing green. What colors do you recommend that would easily be a good match with green tones. I have wondered about SW Comfort Gray? I only have a day to figure this out and really don't want to mess it up again. Here is both the master bedroom and bath for your advise. Thank you all!!!!

Try swabbing the inside of your nose with something like Neosporin before you go to bed. I get these because I blow my nose all the time from allergies, and the Neo seems to work really well. And while you are asleep it has time to work because you aren't blowing your nose or wiping up inside it.

I use a Q-tip, but if you can reach it just use your pinky.

Good luck, and let us know if it works!

I was going to say exactly what michelle suggested, which is what my ENT suggested for a chronic sore in my nose. And try not to pick the scab.
Also try to keep your house humidified in the winter, when the air can be so dry.

Catherine, I am so glad to hear that your dr. recommended neosporin. I use it because it does do the job, but the directions say not to put it on mucous membranes so I haven't even mentioned it to my Dr.
