I'm falling apart!

[pomtzu]

I feel your pain ! I started with it in my hands in my early 30's, and it has taken over just about every joint in my body, and I'm in my late 60's. Thankfully it's osteo, and not rheumatoid tho. None of the traditional meds helped any in my case, and I get as much relief just taking Excedrin as the pricey prescriptions, tho I know it's not good for the tummy to take so much aspirin.

Stay as active and as mobile as you can, and work thru the pain, is about the only advice that I can give. Unfortunately, once you have it, it's with you for a lifetime and is never going to go away. I've simply learned to grin and bear it, since there is nothing I can do other than that.

This is what my "beautiful" hands look like now........
