Morning all,i hope this Sunday finds you all as well as you can be. I have had a busy week as i have done a lot of gardening both for us and our son. I tidied his borders for him and i have been setting dahlias in my garden and the front borders for our friend across the road as like me she is chronically ill and we do what we can to help her. I have been doing my pots as well and i think i have finished my baskets,but at what a cost,my back hasn't been good so nothing new there. My joints on my fingers are sore especially my index finger which is very sore. I can't put pressure in the finger tips(it is hurting as i am typing this) I am seeing my rheumy at the end of the month so we will see what they have to say,not much i expect.xxx

Morning Sylvi hope the hands are getting better , that's where I get most off my problems , swollen nuckles and also index fingers also feet and ankles, I got a steroid injection last Tuesday so hopefully that lasts a wee while, take things easy and don't overdo things, famous last words we don't listen too xxxx

My consultant tells me off as I have quiet a high level pain threshold I work through pain or no pain! Well life has to go on still. We certainly pay the price for it, having a beautiful garden to admire is worth it. Now it’s your time to relax, knowing the pain will get better. Well done and all the best. 🌼

I really admire you Sylvi as you are always so busy and determined not to let your disease get the better of you. I feel so lazy in comparison and yet my symptoms are pretty much under control atm. Your posts always make me resolve to push myself a bit more. Take care and look after yourself. X
