ventaLast year I was diagnosed with arthritis in my fingers. Various blood tests showed it wasn't one of the scary auto-immune kinds, and x-rays revealed no damage, so I have non-specific pain in my finger joints which is therefore diagnosed as arthritis. The leading drug to treat this does wonders for my fingers, but makes me quite ill. Accordingly, I have decided to tolerate painful fingers.
Except of late, I'd noticed that they weren't particularly bad. Hardly hurt at all, in fact. In the past few days, though, I've noticed that they've suddenly been painful again.
This morning, I twigged that my knuckles getting bad seems to correspond neatly with the recent damp, drizzly weather we've been having.
Apparently I actually am feeling the damp weather in my bones. Coming soon: how nothing is like it used to be, how all modern music just sounds like noise, and why I am about to get a blue rinse.

Date: 2015-07-16 07:32 am (UTC)Sorry to hear about the pain and the crappy drugs. If it gets too much it may be worth investigating alternative drugs, each type can cause a different reaction depending on the person so it may be you're suited to a different altermative. On the upside at least you don't live in Scotland where it seems almost permanently damp!
