Sewing With Rheumatoid Arthritis

A blog from a work from home sewing mom, who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. Explore with me the disease, how it affects my every day life as well as my sewing hobby. Learn along with me how to modify my activities to minimize pain and damage from RA. Tutorials and information on sewing will also be added. I hope to empower others with RA and other potentially debilitating diseases to embrace the changes that will enable them to continue doing what they love.

We have below zero temps here in Northern NY state. With the wind chill we have temps around -35 fahrenheit. I am experience joint pain in places I've never had it much before. My ankles & feet, back & hips and then of course my hands are very painful.
I found a very interesting article while i was browsing the internet about cold weather and it's effect on RA and other related diseases.
