It is becoming ridiculous! A small child would have had this stuff open while I still struggle to cut it open, rip it or stab it or bite it to start a tear. I always laugh and comment about it being 'Magician proof'.
Having difficulties writing. So I am now tending to 'print write' but even then I make constant mistakes. The numbers '5' and '2' and the letter 'N' cause great grief.
Reading novels is a thing of the past for my eyes tend to wander and tire so easily. A darkened classroom room is my nightmare.
I used to have good handwriting. Now I am embarrassed to show my chicken scratch. If asked to sign, I always search for a pen which feels 'heavy' in my hand and one which my hand 'feels' easy to write with. Welcome to Arthritis!
I shudder when I have to bend to pick something up. Often I will use my foot to 'move' it against something so I can use the something to hold onto as my knees bend in order for me to pick it up.
Today's messy hair styles are my best friends. Most days I do not comb, brush, style or wash my hair. I am happy to make it out of bed. Sleeping in means more pain from cramped back muscles.
I am just 44 (prime real estate) but walk like someone in great pain. Guess it is because I am in so much pain! Most days, my mind just dulls.

Wonder if young things consider me to be prime real estate/??/ maybe not, but I used to be when I was.........oh so so long ago it was............anyway, I am sorry things are a bit rotten for you at the moment but, keep going, keep at it,,,,, things will get better. Take upthe piano or guitar (ughh) these activities will demand all of your conciousness thereby giving some freedom from the illness..........Sitingat a computer i find, allows too much time to ponder on the grimness of things..........get on with the good things in your life as best you can..........don't allow the illness even half of a victory......................real estate i think is property? Is it?
Alan..have you been avoiding me??? I am not young but still considered prime real estate 47 and I think your "EPRE" if you didn't get that that means EXTREME prime real estate..lol
Mag..sorry everything is so bad right now just hang on and take one day at a time.
Hugs

lol.....I have done all of those at one point or the other. In the cafeteria, I usually buy myself a small salad for lunch. Can't get that plastic container open either so I usually ask the cashier to open it for me. She is twice my age.

no, it is not that bad. Just getting used to what I can still do and what I have troubles doing. Some days I really rely on my 'stick'; others, my left hip reminds me I should have taken the 'stick' along. Today was one of those days.
Thankfully, I did not have to present my speech today. I will have tonight to make it read even better and add a few more pictures to it.
