Was just diagnosed with RA

@sweetundine it’s very painful on top of the joint pain, it gets unbearable. I’m just so depressed. I had started making wreaths about 4 years ago to help with my depression and now my hands are in so much pain I’m not able to use scissors to cut the ribbon. I guess I’m going to have to sell all my stuff and it makes me so sad, it was the one thing that I could do in my recliner because my back is so messed up and I live in so much pain from my neck down to my tailbone. I could at least be a little more comfortable in my recliner and make beautiful wreaths. It’s just me and my dog so it was nice having my wreaths to keep my mind off the bad days. 😭

@kellye1962 if it can take 10 years to get diagnosed with gallstones ( was told it was indigestion or all in my mind) they are capable of anything.

@kellye1962 you are so brave! You were also so smart to find pleasure in wreath-making. Our bodies change all the time. But you did it once, and I am so confident you can find your joy again! Please keep us posted.
