I use it every night! I just warm it in the microwave place it around my neck and scrunch it to where it is most comfortable. Just ordered 2 more 1 Fuchsia and 1 Green Tea - on sale from the Giving Gallery.

Buy new: $49.95
Firm support for neck pain relief. I use it in combination with the Bucky Hotties Neck Wrap, the 3- Zone pillow and the Bucky Hotties Bodywrap. The four of them, in different combinations, generally provide some relief for my head, neck and shoulder pain.
Duro-Med Full Size 3-Zone Cervical Comfort PillowDuro-Med Full Size 3-Zone Cervical Comfort Pillow
Buy new: $24.99
It's a pillow you will need to break in for awhile. I could only tolerate it for a little while. Perhaps using it for half an hour or so each night gradually increasing the time may help.

My husband said the pillow is great. Since using it he has less soreness in his neck and shoulder and he sleeps better. I think it even helped lessen his snoring. In fact, he was so happy with it, he had me order a queen size one for him to use at home so he can keep this one at our cabin.
Duro-Med Adjustable Folding Fancy Cane with Derby Top Wood Handle, Beige FloralDuro-Med Adjustable Folding Fancy Cane with Derby Top Wood Handle, Beige Floral
Buy new: $18.78
This pretty floral cane is adjustable, compact and affordable. Sometimes I need a cane, sometimes I don't. Walking into a store to shop I'm usually ok but walking out is another story. Keeping this folded in my purse but within easy reach is great.

Exactly what I wanted. The folding fancy cane in the Blue Cyclone color is very pretty. The color is a nice mixture of blue and purple. I do like these folding canes.

Those of us who depend on the assistance of a cane for our mobility may not move any faster, function any easier or feel any better because of the flowers on a cane but, somehow, the lovely designs turn our necessity into an accessory, and that, is a fine thing indeed!

Excellent cane for blending with clothes on more formal occassions. I have used this for over 15 years and it still looks good.

Buy new: $16.39
Why did I wait so long before buying this terrific item? So far it has lifted a pair of shoes, socks, peanuts I dropped on the floor, a pine needle tracked in from outside and a minute piece of foil. Simply terrific!
Back-Huggar The Original Lumbar Cushion, Traditonal Style, Blue TraditionalBack-Huggar The Original Lumbar Cushion, Traditonal Style, Blue Traditional
Buy new: $26.99
Good support for lumbar discomfort. I have found these pillows very helpful. The pillow has provided comfortable back support in easy chairs, sofas, folding chairs, cars and on bleachers.
Deluxe Lumbar CushionDeluxe Lumbar Cushion
Buy new: $59.00
First used 20+ years ago after a lumbar laminectomy. Three months after surgery, stopped at a red light, a semi-truck backed onto our car hood crushing it to the ground on the passenger side where I was sitting. When the truck pulled off our car rocked severely causing back problems that have lasted to this day. The pillow has provided support in easy chairs, folding chairs, cars and on bleachers.
Duro-Med Therabeads Neck Pain Relief Pack with CoverDuro-Med Therabeads Neck Pain Relief Pack with Cover

You can find something much better! Cools off way too quickly and after ten minutes the cover is uncomfortably picky. :(
Duro-Med Stress-Ease Pillow SupportDuro-Med Stress-Ease Pillow Support
Buy new: $18.99
Not for me! I have used the stress ease pillow support for several months and, while it was fine in the beginning, it is now apparent that the cervical support area has quickly weakened with use. I am one who needs more substantial neck support and, because of that, I would not buy this pillow again. :(
HoMedics PA-400H Therapist Select Percussion Massager with HeatHoMedics PA-400H Therapist Select Percussion Massager with Heat
I bought this hoping to alleviate pain and discomfort in my head, neck and upper shoulder. It looks like a big blue fist with all the weight being in the fist. It didn't help me at all. It's too heavy for me for it to be useful. :(

Ezy Dose Disposable Pill Pouches - 50 CountEzy Dose Disposable Pill Pouches - 50 Count
Buy new: $2.19
The Ezy Dose Disposable Pill Pouches are great. I keep them in a small coin purse inside my big purse for when I stay overnight to babysit our grandchildren. I keep my daily pill dosage in one and my vitamins in another. I usually make sure I have a 3 day supply for weekends. They can be reused. Also good for keeping pierced earrings safe.
Vitaminder Vitamin & Medication DispenserVitaminder Vitamin & Medication Dispenser
The Vitaminder and Medication Dispenser does work very well. It holds all the vitamins I need. When we travel I use this and it eliminates having to pack all the various vitamin bottles. The brown tint helps shade them from sunlight

It's so nice to be able to change colors to coordinate outfits. The reason for 3 stars is that the color of the product picture was not accurate.

Buy new: $16.99
Zostrix HP is very much the XXX strength formula! Hours after use I was still feeling the burn without relief. Bought on the recommendation of my doctor, and after using it, I, who can tolerate quite a bit of heat, would NOT buy it again. Whatever you do, please be careful and do not touch your eyes or nose! :(
