Good morning tooters. It was a pretty fresh 4c when I woke up at 6.30am to a big fog rolling in & even now 2hrs + later the fog is still hiding everything. The sun is supposed to be coming out later today & again it will reach 16c.
I should maybe think about mowing this afternoon. I might not get another chance for a week or so. It’s not bad, just a bit tatty looking 🤷🏼♀️ meh, not important & my shoulders still ache a little. Tiger Balm works for a while but it isn’t a fix. I will get the Vibit onto it later which is also just a temporary fix. It’s going to take a while I think.
I was also planning an exercise class, but I’ve dawdled so long this morning all I may get done is a short stretch class 😬 - still, any movement helps, so I’ll do what I have to. Off to get organised to visit my sister.
Hope you all have a great #Sunday, hope there’s some sunshine in your day 🌞🌻. #Exercise #Arthritis #AgingBones #WhingingABit 😬. -

If you have some spare to share.

Any personal recommendations for grip products? Someone I know needs help gripping silverware etc. I'm seeing zillions of similar-looking products from brands which could all be AI false fronts for getting my money. Would love to hear from real people. Boosts welcome

Even though the #arthritis in my thumbs and fingers causes pain virtually 24/7, vivid memories of itching from woodland walks as a kid and desperately trying to find dock leaves would prevent me ever trying this, no matter what any scientist may say. -
OK, here's a one for the almost inevitable neurochemists out there in FediLand, if any of you might be so kind!
"I Was Watching"(!) this YouTube thing tonight from this young man, who was telling me that Stinging Nettles are a great treatment for (implied) minor to moderate Arthritis, bcs weird anti-inflammatory doohickey chemicals in the contents.
Does this sound even vaguely plausible?
Because I'm always happy when my knuckles shut-up and stop 'biting' at me, especially when I'm trying to sleep, but not keen to get stung just for someone else running a 'gullibility test' online!

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) activity and flares were recorded for 1,070 patients over 12,583 outpatient visits during 2021-2024, and evaluated with respect to six air pollutants. Worse RA outcomes were most strongly associated with higher and more prolonged exposure to PM2.5 aerosol particles.

2025-12-4 Celebrating my 10 year physical disability* anniversary in a rather eerie way.*Known disability, it’s possible to be disabled or have infection risk factors you don’t know about.
I started this in December and only finished it last week. Crip time!

Carly Simon diagnosed with Parkinson’s and cancer as she explains absence from public eye

Well, that's that sorted.
Signed off work until the beginning of September (at least) due to the pain in my hip and the drugs to manage the pain.
I can't walk properly, if I sit down I can't get up, getting to sit down itself is really hard work, I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in, and I find myself asleep at random points in the day.
Just gotta hope that I get a scan ASAP.

Simple Shot Shows Promise to Reverse Osteo-Arthritis Within Months, Following Animal Treatments

If you’re one of the millions who suffer from knee pain but aren’t thrilled with many of the treatments out there (NSAID consumption, injections, surgery), there might be a new option. Researchers in Germany have developed a new approach that's minimally invasive, safe, and impressively effective. @ScienceAlert tells us more about genicular artery embolization:

Hey my aged friends. Single data point anecdote for you.
Many months ago I was watching a video about Borax and down in the comments someone mentioned using boron for arthritis.
Well me and my programmer hands decided why not try a little supplement experiment and now after a a few months, with a gap in the middle where the pain returned, I'm reasonably convinced. At least for myself.
Will try another gap after this bottle to test again.

A fresh chapter
The babies are nearly grown!
Yes, even in your 60s you can have a fresh chapter.
For the past year, every three months is a fresh chapter. My husband and I go to the oncologist. I get my exam. And the doctor says, “No cancer.” I feel refreshed (until the next three months when I start to panic, toss a sugar-free CBD gummy in my mouth and, show-time!) Just a few more month of this, then it will be every six months until the 5-year mark and I am cleared. (Last year I had first grade uterus cancer and got a full hysterectomy. No chemo. No radiation. But check-ups every three months).
And this time, with this new chapter, is another new chapter I’ve been dealing with — osteoarthritis. There is soreness around my thumb. The good news is, I can type effortlessly (whew! Because if I had to end my writing career, I’d be very bummed out). It’s just that opening jars or bottles is challenging. Also, sometimes using a scissor is painful.
BUT …. The good news is, I’ve been going to an amazing occupational therapist and I’m feeling better. Two weeks ago I beat my husband at air hockey! My hand was sore, but healed fast and I quickly forgot about it. It was worth it! LOL!
The young lady who has been helping me (I go once or twice a week, depending on my schedule) is so awesome, I sent her flowers for her birthday this week.
The place I go to is a 45 minute drive away (I prefer the pretty backroads over the insanity of driving the Parkway) but so worth it. I look forward to those days, popping a favorite CD in and basking in the music and beautiful trees and homes I see along the way.
My original plan was acupuncture for my hand. This same place has two acupuncturists — both are fantastic. So whatever day I go, depending on my schedule, it’s a win/win.
I’m also doing some physical thearpy for a disc herniation that’s been healing, but never healed 100 percent. I have no idea where it came from, but I started having symptoms a month after a car accident in October 2024.
My back is nearly healed except for some minor lower back sensations, kind of like when you’re young and you get period backaches. It doesn’t bother me, but I want to stay healthy. Sometimes I don’t feel it at all, it comes and goes.
The physical thearpy is challenging. I work out at home every single day with all the at-home gym tools — a yoga ball, yoga blocks, a calf roller, light weights (up to eight pounds). But here they have me lifting 20 pound weights to straighten my core.
And the punchline is, I get home and I am so energized I want to do more. I’ll ride my stationery bike, and go for a very long walk.
I just keep pushing myself because as fitness guru Denise Austin says, “If you rest, you rust!”
That was my mantra when I was healing my my hysterectomy last year. People hear “cancer” and “hysterectomy” and they think you need rest. In some cases, I’m sure you do, but in my case, the doctor wanted me to get back to normal asap. I had one day to rest after I got out of the hospital. One day to not take a shower. By the second day I showered and by the third day I took a half hour walk. Resting would have meant the risk of getting a blood clot.
And to this day, when I’m offered a seat, I refuse and stand.
As a writer it takes me about 45 to 90 minutes to write an article, depending on how much I have to research and fact check. When I remember, I’ll put a back support on. When I’m done writing, I’m up immediately Get a drink, look away from the screen.
And I make sure after every meal (usually two big ones and some snacks) I exercise. (Actually I exercise before breakfast, to earn my big breakfast, then afterwards I’m on the bike).
I recently saw a video about the beautiful actress, famous for being on the hit 1980s show Dynasty (which I never watched, but how could I not know about it, it was so popular!) Donna Mills.
She shared her struggles with arthritis which started in her 20s. She’s now in her 80s, and beautiful as ever (even if she did get work done, it’s not overdone — and wow, does she look fantastic!) She also shared her health regimen which was a lot of vegetables even though she’s not vegan and movement.
Yes, that sounded familiar. No matter what health challenge you are going through, it’s awesome to know we can be inspired by celebrities, or even people in our own circles, to keep going, keep moving, and live your life to the fullest!
If you have no health challenges, it may be rare, and it’s a beautiful blessing. But many of us do. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing to blame ourselves for. Shit happens!
It’s how we view these challenges and move through life with them. As we take care of ourselves, we can inspire others.
Start your fresh chapter today!

Holy fucking hell the joint pain in my right hip today is the worst it's ever been. I can't put any weight on it even to just adjust to move without intense pain, having to limp because of the pain when I walk.
And I am back on 2 naproxen a day at the moment...
Fuck this weather.

"Stanford scientists regrow lost cartilage and reverse arthritis in major breakthrough
Scientists may have found a way to regrow aging cartilage and stop arthritis before it starts, potentially making joint replacements far less common.
A new treatment that blocks an aging-related protein restored lost cartilage in old mice and helped prevent arthritis after knee injuries. Human cartilage samples showed similar signs of regeneration, raising hopes for a future drug that could repair joints instead of replacing them."

5:45AM: 51F, overcast.
A small chance of rain today, then partly sunny for the weekend.
Since I have Friday off, it's time for my annual trip up Harbor Mountain.
This year with a knee brace. I'm trying to put off a knee replacement until next year, but it's touch & go. Sigh. Not looking forward to my 5th joint replacement.
Arthritis sucks donkey balls.

I've had three extremely useful conversations with two different pharmacists today.
The Omeprazole I was prescribed after my last gastroscopy is causing severe pains in my arthritic fingers (despite the hospital consultant saying it wouldn't). Pharmacist has confirmed it's a rare, but documented, side effect of •all• PPIs.
The pharmacist at the GP surgery has arranged for me to get an 8 week prescription of Famotdine instead, and to review it when I'm back from holiday.
