Do you have any lime to add to the tequila?

That makes it a health food as limes are SOOOO good for you…

No rescued Model M buried under the usual debris that surrounds tech places? (Actually, if you are using a Model M, fixing the spacebar should be quite feasible.)

Feral, am I using a Model M? It calls itself a Dell QuietKey, if that helps…

Well I’ll Be Blowed.

I suspect you were joking, but look what I just found:
"Ginger
"Ginger is a culinary food and herb prescribed for inflammatory conditions. Its ability to help gout is well-documented.
“One study found topical ginger reduced pain related to uric acid in gout. Another study showed that in subjects with high levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia), their serum uric acid level was reduced by ginger. But the subjects were rats, and ginger was taken internally rather than topically.”

At this point I suspect I should say “squeak”.

No, a Model M is more like a NoisyKey.

Ginger is good for almost everything. Turmeric is good for inflammations too. Perhaps I should load up the trebuchet with curry rather

If I make a curry it will involve Cooking…

Ginger, Turmeric & Cider Vinegar are all traditional remedies to reduce inflammation & worth trying, IMO.

Antiinflammatory medication usually starts with Ibuprofen, but I’m not sure that you can take that, Fishy.
I am prescribed Naproxen, as it’s stronger & works better for me.

So far so good; it hasn’t made me turn a funny colour or swell up and burst.

I shall go to bed soon. Goodnight, all.

I hope that you have as comfortable a night’s sleep as possible, Fishers.
It’s good night from me, too.

Elevation can help, so maybe try lying with your foot resting on a rolled-up duvet or some such.
