they seem to have my pain relief under control and I am ready to get back into my bears. Not only have I got the Polymyalgia but also Arthritis which is why the Prednisone wasn't taking the pain away. I am now taking the Prednisone twice a day and an anti inflammatory for the Arthritis in my shoulders and right wrist and hand. I have show coming up soon so I need to get some bears made for it.

Great news about the meds, it's about time they sorted them out for you. Take it easy with how much sewing you do. I have arthritis and I was so bad with it at one time. I had splints on my arms and could hardly use my hands. I got to a point that I thought if I don't take charge of this illness it will rule me. I refused to wear the splints and gradually started to get more movement into my hands. Boy oh boy it was painful but I kept trying. I was determind that I would get control and here I am years later not strapped up and I can make my bears, type etc. I never thought I would be able to overcome arthritis and I haven't fully but being strapped up had made things worse for me. I still have loads of pain but my life is so much better...but as I said Patsy take it easy, pace yourself.  bear_thumb

Hugs Jane.  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

Hi Patsy
I'm so glad you're back - and with such good news! As another chronic pain sufferer I really sympathised with you...my god, what a lot of wrecks we are!!!! In my case - if I stopped sewing all hours, I'd probabyl feel a lot better...but then what - I'd DIE of boredom!!!!

Thank you all for your support and it really is good to be back. I have tried to keep up with what has been happening on TT but just not posting.. I must say all the New Bears are awesome. My regret is that I had to pull out of the B4Bears campainge but I just couldn't see me doing the bears that I needed to do. I have been going in and watching how you are all going. I wish you all good luck with it all. I really hope that it takes off as Nancy has done so much work on the site. Anyway thank you all again.
