Ooops!  bookaholic confession ... make that 4 bookcases.  

I have been reading on my Kindle almost exclusively for over a year now, partly because we are in Portugal every 6 weeks or so.  However I was reading the 2 Jill McGivering novels in paperback which my friend had lent me and I have really bad aches and pains in my hands, so it isn't just the portability I like but the lightness - ...

[quote user="fmrobinson"]I've been trying to think of something I have changed that may have impacted my hands/skin but nothing has sprung to mind.[/quote] But it doesn't have to have been you that bought something new, it could  be a "new and improved" version of an old favourite.

My husband and daughter have this and the hot flannel thing does work, but don't stop when things seem to have cleared up, keep on doing it.  I have lenses and also go to specsavers.  My optician told me that taking a linseed oil capsule a day will help with tear production, and a side effect is that it helps with my creaky joints ...
