Of course, the main point is that once you've got any form of arthritis, you
can't ward it off - you've got it. What you can do is to try and stop it
getting worse (just about impossible) by doing things in a way that causes

Firstly for all the arthritis suffers out there I have every sympathy, it is
tough and painful.
What many sufferers in the past experienced was periods of relief (this is

Hi Brenda and all
Her fingers are beyond 'sore'. This is long term eczema on the fingers that
are already misshapen with arthritis. It takes the form of deep cracks in the
skin. I don't know if it is independent of or caused by the arthritis, but
it is very miserable. She also has a lot of
I dont know if this will help you, but it may be of some use.
The one finger I use for pushing pins into place does get very sore
sometimes, due to a variety of things, including a type of arthritis (does
not mis shape my joints but the pain is still there).
On bad days, and I do understand
Really pretty, I like that.

Oh how I empathise, Jean, although I don't think I have the challenges
you do. It was the feel and the rhythm that first attracted me to lace
making (albeit only 6 months ago). I love the process and find it so
relaxing. I don't even mind reverse lace making to take back a mistake
