A lot of people in my support group swear by Tiger Balm for temporary relief. I've yet to find it in a local drug store, so I haven't tried it yet...

I hope no actual Tigers were harmed in the manking of the balm.

Yeah they sell it in chemists (your drug stores I guess) and even in the supermarket. Mum likes the white over the red - I think it's less 'hot'?? Try a chinese grocer perhaps or herbalist?

Oh it's in every drug store in Sweden. Tiger Balm is one of the world's leading topical analgesics, with a soothing action that relieves muscular aches and pains. Ra-hoom-rah!

Plus, if you ever come across a tiger in pain, you can soothe him, and he will become your companion and bodyguard on your many harrowing adventures.

Update on the Wisdom Teeth...I'm booked to go in to see a specialist for an operation since my dentist doesn't think he can yank em out since they're growing in sideways, and are too close to nerve and blood vessels. The shitty part: My appointment is on March 22, 2007!!!! A whole year!! Fucking Saskatchewan and their fucking lazy ass doctors.

Surely you can do something about that!?! More than a year to see a specialist!?! The fact that you NEED to see a specialist would mean that it's kinda important.

Hey, Liz. I have many and varied places where I can get Tiger Balm out here. If you like, I'll send you a small tin of both red and white. You can see if either one does anything for your malfunctioning head, and we'll go from there...

But only if you rub it on his balls.

Well, I got put on a cancellation list so if anything opens up before then I can get them out. The meds I'm on are really helping though so it won't be comepletely hell. And if they start giving me some real trouble the dentist in town can take them out if he has to, but he doesn't think he's up to the challenge. Or he can put me on stronger meds. I wouldn't mind spending the next year all doped up on morphine
As for headaches and migranes, I saw a commercial on CNN today about this topical headache medicine called HeadOn I think it was called. Supposedly you put it directly on your forehead. Even comes in Migrane strength. If you try some of that let me know and I might look into it.
We also get Tiger Balm in Canada. There's a tin of it in my medicine cabinet. Never tried it for headaches though, the heating pad always works, but I might check it out next time.

Ever see the Simpsons episode where the orthodontist projects what Lisa will look like without braces?
That's what they mean by "complicated".
