Good morning

What a relief to find this site!

I have osteoarthritis in my fingers, and my biggest fear is that I will lose the use of my hands. I've found compression gloves to be a lifesaver; they really make a difference - all my doctor has suggested is codeine, which hardly makes any difference at all.

Looking forward to reading everyone's posts and learning more about support mechanisms 😊
