Q: Cooking Meals And Cleaning With Arthritis
asked by: janetkunert on December 20th, 2004

The arthritis in my hands and legs has gotten worse and it is now almost impossible to clean my house, cook, and do the basic everyday activities without being in excruciating pain. My husband won’t lift a finger. If this continues I will starve to death in a very dirty house.

Cleaning And Cooking With Arthritis
I wish I could give you a hug janet. Are you on the proper meds for your pain? I switched meds last year and most of my pain is manageable now. I can clean but I try not to – I got a roomba robot vacuum for a present from my grandson last year and I love it. I plug it in and it vacuums when there is dirt. I can do the work but why should i. Let’s stick together. If you need to talk one on one, please write me. I can tell you ways to get what you need from your husband and you can tell me what kind of pain management program you are on and what meds you are taking. Talk to you soon.
