Ewe! My grandfather on my mothers side was pretty much crippled by arthritis. Used to make yearly trips to mexico to try everything he could that might help.
I started feeling it in my hands by the time I was in my 20's.
(I don't think that is rheumatoid, I think its the regular kind)
So I kinda know a little of what you go through, and I feel for you.
(Sending good wishes and positive energies your way.)
Thank you so much.. Ive had RA since i was 26.. It didnt hit me hard until i was in my late 30's...told me I would be in a wheelchair by the time i was 45...and I'm 52 and walking good ! I have trouble with my back, my hands and my hips but i feel so fortunate to be as good as I am. I have to thank God everyday for the blessings I have been given.
See a good rheumatologist if yours gets worse..please. They have lots of good treatments for arthritis out now. And , I'm walking proof that some of them really help !
Getting a new foster basset this weekend. Her name is Lucy. So, im super excited !! Just adopted one out named Sally..I miss her so. They are blessings to my life as well.
Take care of yourself !!
Thanks for the good vibes , and sending them back to you ! Hugs, The Clumsy one ( now you know why im so clumsy, and i thought i could keep it a secret ( rolling eyes here ) )..LOL
