Ice reduces inflammation. Most of these pains boil down to caused-by-inflammation or caused-by-tightness. Heat is for the tightness, ice is for the inflammation.
With migraines, I understand it can go either way. My neck needs more ice. I'll take a pack to bed and try not to cry of it.
CSI:
So it's
Buffy227?
That's creepy in a fancreepy sort of way.
And George Eads seems to have
lost the dead furry thing oh his face.
Thank dude.
Poor ita. I wish your body would let up on you a little.
Hee. That originally said "would stop being mean to you", but I changed it, and didn't erase the me in mean.
Really not a freudian slip, I promise.
Damn. Given the lack of help from heat, I should try the ice. Which, on my neck, is cringe-making. But so are the nightly headaches. Damn.
Second, Why is Rachel McAdams doing the monochrome thing? Is monochrome even the word I mean? Her hair's all blonde and her skin is all tan, and it's just no good. She looks like a hundred other actresses like that.
We've been bemoaning that. She's very very cute as a brunette on
Slings and Arrows.
Timelies! I seem to have Flexeril hangover, which doesn't seem fair. However, it is above freezing for the first time this week here, so I've at least got one thing to be positive about. Oh, and also... it's Friday! So while I'm too logy to get up and cheer, I can at least listlessly waggle my head side to side....
From the overnights:
You missed the part where it only goes off if it's 37 fricking degrees!
Ice can stick around even after it's warmed up. It was 35 when we left the house this morning, and the roads were pretty icy.

I think her problem isn't that 37 is high for ice, but rather that it's low for sane human beings San Francisco.
Theo--I do hate the Flexeril hangover. That's why I rarely take it on a school night.
See. for me, "35" and "warmed up" don't belong in the same sentence. I would have been very happy not knowing about this feature at all.
Or what ita said.
Hi ita. How is your neck?
Achey, Perkins. Icing made the whole thing throb like a steel band, and I'm cursing my PT right now. But I'll ice again.
