Well you are certainly well informed about medicines and that is a great boost to my confidence in your nursing abilities :)
I have another friend here that also suffers from arthritis in his hands and a few in the old age homes that we support. Sad thing is that there is no permanent cure!

I've had arthritis since the age of thirty, been a constant battle that I mostly win, but it flares up at times. It's all good though, I'm pretty good at dealing with it, and when I don't, there's pills. 😏
Oh man, I really feel for you. But the thing is that it makes us used to pain.
I have constant pain in the left leg, but I have learned to ignore it.
The fear is that as I get older it will have to eventually come off, but such is life.
Thankfully you have also learned how to manage it and let's hope that a miraculous cure will materialize.
How is the mother in law doing?
My tolerance to pain is pretty high because of this situation, I don't like it, but it's there and I can't do anything about it really, so I just deal with it. I'll get by, and eventually won't feel anymore pain at all.
She seems fine. We're having dinner there on Saturday night so I'll judge it from there. I haven't seen here all week. Faith says she seems ok though, they speak every day.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant, we become conditioned to ignore pain.
However many don't and it drives them mad.
Good to hear that she seems fine as she must be going through a very difficult time. Good that she has Faith around to talk to.
