RE: [SPAM] Newbie with A Question... North vs South?

Your wife should make sure her doctor

knows of her recent symptoms and if she doesn’t get relief, get a second

opinion from another board-certified rheumatologist. That’s not what you

asked about but I’ll give you an opinion anyway.

There is no telling how much (if any) the

change in climate will affect your wife or how long she can continue to work. They

do make special gloves for arthritic hands that help some people. I don’t

know anything specific about them but I have heard mostly good reports on them

from other boards. If you have trouble finding them I might be able to ask

others for information about them. I hope you and your wife will be

comfortable with whatever decision you make. God bless.

Newbie with A Question... North vs South?

Hi there, I just joined as I am doing some research

for my wife. She

has RA and had wrist surgery done about 10 years ago. Lately she has

been in a lot of pain...some swelling..mostly just aches....the other

day she said it felt like something eating away at her wrist.

She has recently been offered a promotion as a secretary to her

companies president...located in Charlotte

NC.. currently we live in

PA. The changing seasons don't bother her too bad.. but we are

considering not relocating for two reasons... One.. Will her RA be

worse in the humid south and two.. how long can she stay employed as a

secretary if her hands continue to hurt all the time.

She will be 50 next year.

Thanks.
