Sunbeam Heating Pad For Arthritis

My heating pad is something I just can't live without these days especially with the onset of the colder climate I live in. My body is troubled with Degenerative Arthritis known as Osteoarthritis. I also have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I'm way to young to have it as bad as I do but be it as may I have to deal with it. Of course, I take pain meds but it's been hard to find just the right one that helps. The one thing that helps me the most even though I take over the counter medicine is my heating pad. When the aches and pains get going all I want to do is go sit in my chair with my heating pad and curl up with my blanket, which I do often. I adjust the heating pad to where the pain is at and turn it on for pain relief. It helps for calming my chronic joint pains down.

I have a king size heating pad which means it's a longer than your regular size. I like that because because you can put it longways from your shoulders to your low back. I use it that most of all. Not only do I have the arthritic pain in those areas but as well in my wrists, knees, feet and my ankles. Pretty much everywhere. With this heating being long I can wrap it around those joint areas as needed which really helps.

Sometimes I wish they made a heating pad that you could slip your whole body into because some days I hurt so much from head to toes. But I'm thankful for my heating pad that I have because it has become my best friend when I'm hurting.

My heating pad is king size with ultra heating technology that includes dry and moist heating. I use dry heat the most. What's really nice is that it has a automatic shut off on it. It has 4 heat settings on the control which it nice. It shuts off after 60 minutes; not to say I use it for that amount time but I do turn it down on low a lot and just let it shut off on its own. The recommended time of heat is 20 minutes at a time on the joints even though I do more.

Recently while shopping with my boyfriend he threw a heating pad in the cart. I looked at him and said why are you buying that I already have one. He told me that I needed another one so I don't have to always run upstairs or vice versa. The steps are hard on my knees. So now I have two of them thanks to him. I'm so thankful for his thoughtfulness. The heating pads really do help my arthritic and Fibromyalgia pains a lot. Its a total life safer for me
