Oh my! I know this is an old post, but man oh man: you’ve hit the nail on the head. I am not as affected as you are, but maybe half of the tricks you use I have to use as well. I am so so glad that I found this site a few weeks back. It is a sanity saver, God bless you Kelly.

it reminds me of my great desire to go to antique shows. Not necessarily to buy something, but to look, to learn, to price and yes, maybe find that wonderful treasure. My husband tries to reason with me and get me to stop going at all or else to go for 15 minutes but I so want to go! The problem of course is the RA especially in my feet. I went to a show without him last weekend, for 2 hours. I took my cane, I took breaks, I walked around in a slow, leisurely way. And I ended up in RA agony just because I wanted to do something I can not do. He does’t understand why I went. My best solution is to go to one antique store and leave behind the shows.

Oh Kelly thanks for talking about me again (wink) or is it “for” me?
anyway… I will never do the tilt and drop (drop/fly) trick with a crock pot again… i have learned to keep it to the things that i dont mind getting beaned with. Like you say.. chose the plastic..not the glass.
Warm,gentle hugs

I'm not usually as bad as that either, but my hands and wrists are swollen and achy frequently. I always wondered why my joints always made so much noise. I didn't realize that other RAers have that. I have nights like what you described. It's annoying when you can't find a comfortable spot to sleep. The other night I couldn't sleep on one side because of my hip. I couldn't sleep on the other side because of my shoulder. I couldn't sleep on my back because of my elbow!! Aaaarg! Oh well, I just try to laugh at these situations!!

I do not have the challenges that you face in this article – at least not yet. I will admit there are days when I am pretty bad: can't pour the milk without spilling, takes to hands to lift something, pain from minor bumps, etc.

I appreciate that you are committing time and talent to producing this blog. I appreciate it so much. It makes a difference in my life with RA.
