Karen, I feel great compassion for you. My dear Mother had arthritis which was so bad that the doctor said she had "the worst back (spine) he had ever seen". I have osteoarthritis but I am fortunate not to have rheumatoid arthitis. Blessings to you. Happy Easter.

Artist Reply: Dear Anne, I'm sorry about your mother. I also have great compassion for you. Osteoarthritis, the type I have, is crippling enough!Blessings to you and I hope you had a happy Easter.

Oooo, this is so expressive. My husband is an arthritis sufferer, too. He has had it since he was 12.

Artist Reply: I can certainly feel for your husband. I'm thankfull I managed to escape being crippled by arthritis until I reached my late fifties! I'll pray for him!
Artist Reply: I can feel great compassion for your husband and you, too! I'd hate having had Arthritis at 12 when I was full of energy! It's bad enough that Arthritis forced me out of my livlihood while I was still 58!

It is a nasty thing to have, I feel for you Karen, and yet you have made a lovely work out of the misery! Get well and eat raw garlic, as it is good for the joints and cleans the fatty stuff we have circulating in the blood. XXX Ana

Artist Reply: Thank you. I think I'll find out more about raw garlic. Would raw garlic happen to include Garlic Salad Dressing?
Artist Reply: I find that physical therapy helps quite a lot, too. Thank you for the tip on raw garlic.

Ouch. I hear that!!!

Artist Reply: I get the feeling you're suffering from arthritis just as I am. I've so far managed to minimize pain with physical therapy exercises. I always have tylenol on hand, but rarely need it because I rely heavily on the physical therapy exercises I learned from a therapist.
