Turns out food can make you sick. Or better said it can cause joints to get old faster in some of us more than others. I highly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Nourishing-Broth-Old-Fashioned-Remedy-Modern/dp/1455529222/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427610481&sr=8-1&keywords=nourishing+broth by Sally Fallon Morell.westside momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224462720183128560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-49946794944869293412015-03-17T06:55:04.913-05:002015-03-17T06:55:04.913-05:00Rant all you want cause as you said, it's your...Rant all you want cause as you said, it's your blog. Sure, you do tell things like they are from your perspective and that's OK whether others share your views or not. I read other blogs where folks shy away from a lot of hinesty and only "paint pretty pictures" or show onky good things. Life is not always like that, fact is that sometimes things just suck. If that's how you are feeling, it's OK to share and I appreciate yiur doing so, Annie.<br />Beatrice P.

It might do something of the same for you:<br /><br /><br />Well, son, I’ll tell you: Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. <br />It’s had tacks in it, And splinters,<br />And boards torn up, <br />And places with no carpet on the floor— <br />Bare. <br />But all the time <br />I’se been a-climbin’ on, And reachin’ landin’s, <br />And turnin’ corners,<br />And sometimes goin’ in the dark <br />Where there ain’t been no light.<br />So boy, don’t you turn back.<br />Don’t you set down on the steps<br />’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard. <br />Don’t you fall now— <br />For I’se still goin’, honey, <br />I’se still climbin’, <br />And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.<br /><br />Keep up the good fight, Annie.Podunk Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-87528815777770662652015-03-11T10:01:33.850-05:002015-03-11T10:01:33.850-05:00Hey IR!

I have seen the gloves and socks for people with bad arthritis though. That's certainly a thought. I'll look around at some of the sporting goods stores.<br /><br />Hey Ed!

Have you ever thought or tried spandex pants. My hands have gotten really bad and I use the spandex gloves now. I can't believe how well my hands feel right away. I have be crocheting a lot so I ordered new ones with half fingers. Just a thought. Things don't work the same for everyone.<br />But oh when the weather goes bad I'm hurtin.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-61239906090501161072015-03-10T15:01:28.226-05:002015-03-10T15:01:28.226-05:00I hear you.

I think sometimes it's hiding further than the loo! or you have to chase it down and jump on it!!<br /><br />Hey Ed! Man, you are lucky as hell; never known depression or a headache! well, really, I'm still not sure I would classify what I go through as real depression, because it's over with so fast. And my understanding is that true depression lingers for months or so. Now, mine does return frequently but I never lose enjoyment in life and people. I just get very very discouraged. lol! Anyway, it doesn't matter; it's close enough. And yes, I hope one day a cure or something close is found.<br /><br />Hey Jim! good to hear from you! I feel that way to. More people should just be honest and talk about stuff. thanks!MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-43569387187720438662015-03-10T10:41:07.115-05:002015-03-10T10:41:07.115-05:00My friend, I know that you can handle most of what...My friend, I know that you can handle most of what comes your way, and I like the fact that you tell it like it is. I really feel that getting things out in the open and talking about them sometimes helps the healing process.

But I do know several people, including you that suffer from it and it seems very real and debilitating. I sincerely hope that one day, someone will be able to cure whatever is causing it be it pain, genetics or a chemical imbalance.
