Many symptoms can be managed or eliminated without phamacuticals (which are $$$ and have so many side effects) through dietary changes. Changing the way you eat is simple (but not always easy) and has many health benefits beyond eliminating pain.

Mike thank you for sharing your story. I’m so glad to hear you are not letting it stop you.

Your article on arthritis really hit home with me, I had to stop working in 2004 at age of 43 because of Gout and Lupus. I went from being a toolmaker to someone who can’t tie his own shoes anymore. As you describe how much longer it’s taking you to complete your projects I have the same problem working around my house. I have moved on to using power tools more in my wood shop instead of hand tools, Some days I can do a few hours and other days I can’t get out of bed. People who don’t have arthritis of some type just can’t grasp how debilitating it can be, I’ve had to relearn to do something’s a different way and other things I have to forget about doing all together.
I really like your website and am going to come back often. I don’t know what you all do for your pain, whether you take medications that either work a little or not at all. I personally am now living on opiod pain meds l8ke they’re m&m’s.
Keep on going, an$ remember “It’s against the rules to quit.
Mike

I’m glad you’ve been able to adapt so you can continue to do remodeling work and your other hobbies. Holding on to hope that our children and grandchildren don’t have to suffer with this disease.
