From the article: 10 Ways to Improve Your Life With Arthritis
Living with chronic arthritis is difficult. There is no denying that pain, fatigue, and physical limitations affect your quality of life. Trying to keep normalcy within your family, work environment, and social life can stretch you beyond your limits.
While you have to accept that arthritis is your reality, it still can become overwhelming at times. When arthritis brings you to your knees and buries you in a funk, what lifts you up? What cheers you, puts a smile back on your face, and gives you the strength to get through another day? Think about it for a moment. What is it that really lifts you up?

- Going to try at least a few of the above mentioned ways to live with arthritis.. I personally also recommend hot packs, especially the natural ones as a relief. I use the Nature Creation brand, but I am sure most others are just as good!

- Hi Carol, was wondering if you have ever seen a book called Honeybees never get arthritis. It was written by a man from Vermont who had run for govenor. I would say the book was published around 1980 or so. He traveled all over America speaking to people who kept bees and also mentioned a doctor in Hollywood, Ca. who would use bee stings on people, he would use ice placed where the pain was before stinging his patients, the ice would numb the pain. One of his patients was Fred Mertz, from the I Love Lucy show, he came in one day and said what can you do for me today, after a number of stings over a period of time he was able to lift his arms above his shoulders. He gave the doctor a 100 dollar tip, for curing his arthritis.
