#arthritis in hands

[relivephysiotherapy]

Chronic pain makes life difficult, mainly when the condition limits your mobility and ability to perform tasks. Usually, conditions such as knee or back pain become a real struggle for many people in the United Kingdom because even basic activities appear to be a Challenge. At Relive Physiotherapy, we understand the impact that pain can have on your body and mind. This is why we offer solutions such as knee steroid injections and back pain injections to help alleviate discomfort, improve function, and provide long-term relief.

So a while ago I saw a post with the coolest vintage tshirt and I instantly fell in love and decided I needed it in my life:

I searched REALLY hard for the original copyright holder to see if I could buy one, including digging up the original source of the image (the Lesbian Herstory Archives) to find out that WMP stands for WomanMade Products, and eventually stumbled across a feminist bookstore with the same name. I called expecting to get the runaround for a week and then be told they couldn’t find the creator, but she actually picked up the phone herself! Becky Bly has been in business since 1976, created this design in the early 80s, and said as long as I wasn’t selling it, I could reproduce it!

I ended up having to redraw it by hand because the original scan was skewed (there was much wailing) and got to work. Ignore how sloppy the pattern is, I fixed most of it while stitching.

I then immediately put it down and forgot about it for weeks until I realized Pride was right around the corner and frantically picked it back up. I took it with me to a roller derby match to work on during the breaks and ladies, if you haul out embroidery that says “dyke” on it at roller derby, you will IMMEDIATELY have lots of queer women talking to you. This has been Ari’s Top Tips.

I then forgot about it for another week and a half until I realized Pride was in two days and started sewing as fast as I possibly could, bruising my finger where I braced the needle. I finished it at 1:30 am the night before Pride:

This is the best thing I’ve ever done. I am obsessed with it and keep staring at it. Everyone at Pride thought it was amazing and I got SO many compliments that went straight to my head. One person at temple asked if they could commission me to make one for them and I got to say “sorry :( I only got permission to make it for myself :(” instead of “the amount of labor that went into this is going to COST you, I don’t think you want to pay that much.”

Thanks again to Becky Bly for permission to reproduce this, I am going to use this bag until it falls apart and then probably make another one lol. Go check her out if you’re interested in her work!

I think ive got a good idea for my next warm knit--wool legwarmers that go up to the thigh. I'd only be wearing them in my wheelchair so I'm hoping them staying up wont be an issue. I was initially thinking long underwear but I think I could eliminate most of the need for washing by just ... not doing a crotch ? Also idk how to knit a crotch anyway, and it's my legs that get horribly cold. I have quite a lot of pink laceweight millspun wool that I think should be enough. Very excited to get started on it... basically will just be a long tube with increases so it should be easy enough.

The reality of the slow degradation of the body that you cannot stop and just simply succumb to that comes with chronic illness

Cleaning milestone! Started the dishwasher running again. This actually represents the vast majority of my dirty dishes; there's maybe most of a load, some large items, and a handful of hand-wash-only items left.

I think I have arthritis or something. For a long time now, I've kept feeling the need to crack my two middle fingers in particular--like, it felt like there were air bubbles there constantly and there still does--but whenever I do so now, there's instant pain when I do it, which shouldn't happen. But if I don't crack my knuckles, there's this annoying feeling of the air bubbles being there. (But I've decided to just ignore that now and try not to crack them.)

And when I did crack said knuckles, sometimes my hands started to kind of fall asleep or go numb? It's hard to explain. So much so, that sometimes lately when I'd try to type sometime afterwards, it was near impossible to.

This past week, my hands have been in searing pain, like every day. I do think my hands are partly dry and that could be part of the issue, but surely not all of it. I put lotion on them last night and am still having this problem.

And it's so bad, that I'm even having trouble picking stuff to eat and am kind of giving up and not eating as much as I really need to.

I've been thinking I should probably go to the doctor about it this week, but been putting it off. But I think I'm going to bite the bullet tomorrow and finally make an appointment.
