Ok so to start off with a query. boots have started selling an accupressure ring to stop you snoring.
Now we all know that Boots is a despicable peddlar of woo but this one is quite dangerous because undiagnosed apnoea kills. people with problem snoring need a doctor not a parcel of woo. I tackled them on Twitter and their response was that they had clinical trials, conducted by Aspen Clinical Research of Maldon that showed it was effective. But I cannot find these trials. Has anyone heard of this company ( it isnt the same as the one from Utah) and is it legit?
In other news...went into the loft to put stuff away. Saw all the babystuff we were saving for our next one. Had to get drunk.
My shoulders are unspeakable at the moment. Left side: mobilised acromioclavicular joint, mobilised sternoclavicular joint. right side mobilised glenohumeral joint, mobilised scapulothoracic joint.
Mobilised here meanss sitting further apart than it should until pressed, when it goes back in with an audible click. the scapulothoracic one is so bad that you can see it from the front- my levator scapulae on the right is popping out past all the larger muscles it should be behind and the scapula is getting close to winged ( though not quite).
this sucks. this sucks donkey choad.
meanwhile date hass cancelled on me for second time this week.
If i was a rabbit my ears would be at 6.35

ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound legit at all, but that's just my internal bullshit alarm since "acupressure" seems to basically be "acupuncture for people that're scared of needles".
Wotcha Inky. I would not dream of commenting on the legitimacy of this company, but I did find the information below just floating around in the public domain. I hope that you get to prick up your ears soon.
