Millions of people suffer from arthritis. There are hundreds of kinds of arthritis, too. No cure. For any of them. Too many drugs. If things get worse, people won't be able to buy those drugs anyway. And who knows what natural ingredient has yet to be discovered to cure something like RA? So I haunt google with key words. Problem is, I never connected the skin probs to arthritis. Not until Allie mentioned it. Then I was on the hunt again. And there it was. Thousands of people suffer psoriases and it usually shows up about the same time arthritis rears its ugly head. Its the front runner. The warning of what is to come to the joints. Its a heads up. And sure as my name is Grace, that's exactly what went down.
Last year, I was fine. Putting up fences, climbing on top of the house to replace roof tiles, mowing the lawn, walking all over creation with the dogs. Hauling furniture I painted from and to destinations. Now? I can't even open a damn jar of jam without excrusiating pain.
That's where I first had noticable difficulty--the arthritis in my hands. The copper bracelet mostly took care of that for me. Not sure whether it helped anywhere else but I have not had that deep ache or cramping in my hands since I put it on. I know it won't work for everybody. But it's sure worth a try. Mine has little magnets in the ends which the homeopathic therapist who made it says also have an effect. I don't know if that is true either but it works. And that has been a real blessing.
I'm willing to try anything at this point. Do you have a pic of one that is similar to what you have? I looked on ebay but they had so many. And some were way too wide, some way too expensive. Some had magnets on the end, some didn't. Some were links (I like those, but no magnets on them), some were cuffed, some thin, some thick. If I can see what you have, maybe I can find something similar.
Allie, mine is worrying me too. Being helpless, jobless, dependent is not my idea of a good time. Because I CAN'T depend on help with basic things when it flares up really bad. Hell, my SIL forgot I was in the bedroom, fixed everyone dinner and didn't bother with me at all. Even the ex didn't peek in. They all knew I was having much difficulty even walking. But I was..forgotten.
That was a very bad experience to realize that I could be entirely disabled eventually and then what? Left to rot in my own pee? Not fed? Not helped? Makes me upset just thinking about it. Thank God it passed. But that whole day, the future slapped me in the face. It isn't very pleasant, that future.
