Kancie Third_Degree_AS_Kicker Registered: 11/30/11 Posts: 256	lso love em, keep a couple for bad days, but they really aren't very practical for me cost wise. If money is no object then I agree - they're fabulous! _________________________ Iritis first diagnosed in 1991, presently recurrent and steroid resistant. Tested HLA B27 positive in 1996. AS diagnosed October of 2011. Putting most of my eggs in the NSD and exercise basket, using only TENS, massage, heat and ice, and NSAIDS (sparingly) for pain. Drops for iritis as flare necessitates. Looking back I feel I would have been diagnosed with AS years ago, if I had found a rheumy earlier than 2011.

cemc Platinum_AS_Kicker Registered: 01/25/10 Posts: 1646 Loc: UK	I've only seen small ones here (elbow and wrist size) but did find them good when I was travelling and couldn't get a hot water bottle or heating pad. Am sitting on a heating pad right now.
