Two Questions.

[dsrtao]

One. We live in a house of approximately 25,000 cubic feet. At 65F, air can hold about 1 lb of water per 1000 cubic feet. We have humidifiers that put 2.5 gallons of water into the air in 24 hours. A gallon of water is 8.3 lbs. That's 20.75 pounds of water. Where is the water going, considering that the house is sealed for winter, the front door opens for brief periods a few times per day, and we run the humidifiers every single day?


Two. Why is it that my neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and my right hip, knee and ankle all ache painfully? My left leg and torso seem to be fine.

The answer to the pain appears to be stress.

pain and stress

In my case, it is just plain old age trickling in... and different parts hurt every day. It is my unfounded belief that stress cause an affinity for pain, and the particular area in which pain occurs is related to sleeping habits,usual daily positions, temperatures in various rooms, dampness [not evenly distributed throughout the house], and plain ornery-ness within the body.

I gobble advil, for various reasons. Funny thing - I do not feel pain when out shopping. Of course the pocketbook feels the pain later.
