Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 My wife doesn’t have RA but I’ve heard her say things like that many times and she never does take on too much (until the next time). You might print this out and post copies on the refrigerator and the bathroom mirror to remind you “never again”. God bless. From: Rheumatoid Arthritis [mailto:Rheumatoid Arthritis ] On Behalf Of snowdrift52003 Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2006 7:29 AM Rheumatoid Arthritis Subject: Somebody stop me! Hello, I am realizing that I've got to be more careful about taking on new commitments. I'm really feeling the squeeze right now with a volunteer writing project I took on. The deadline's next week and I've got to complete several more interviews and write more articles for a publication. My wrists and hands are killing me at the moment! I'm pushing myself to fulfill this commitment (there is no backup, no way to get out of it. And...I've got a bored special needs kid here who needs to go back to school, a mom who just had surgery and needs more of my attention, a nearly FT job,a husband who wants to spend time with me, appointments and meds to manage, and a million chores to do! You are my witnesses: next year I will not take on this volunteer project again! There's no predicting when the RA will flare up...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Sierra- Go to wisdomking.com and type in 3/4 edema gloves. These are amazing and I wear them all the time. These are perfect doing office work which includes writing. They will apply compression and help support your hands and fingers. Go to rite aid and buy ACE wrist braces. They are wrap around the wrist with velcro and are in a natural cover.
