Wondering if there are travellers out there who need regular INR checks and how they manage this when away from main towns. Am considering buying our own machine so that it can be monitered and adjusted as needed so it does not impact too much on our outback travels thanks in anticipation - Jenny

After a very busy hour at the doctors today I am now on permanent medication for the first time in my life.

SOMEWHERE in Grey Nomads, someone told of a recipe that you rub into sore joints. Apparently, it heats up the area, and give relief. I know sorbolene cream was one of the ingredients. Does anyone remember who it was and where I can find it again, please?
