Subject: Everyone – alternative to Dr. Shiel's Patented Handshake for Arthritis

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

This made me remember something. The professor I met in South Africa when I

was first diagnosed showed me a great “Arthritis handshake”, its different

to Dr Shiel’s – I’ll try explain. You shake by holding your hand with index

finger and baby finger touching (under your two middle fingers), looks a bit

strange (like a V) but people don’t seem to notice and you don’t have to

give a “naff” handshake – so Al you can “shake like a man!” LOL! It

protects the joints from being crushed. He explained to my husband how it

feels for us when someone squeezes our hands like this – he took four

pencils and placed them between his fingers, then he squeezed the top and

bottom fingers together as in a handshake – I think he got the picture quiet

vividly LOL! ! It’s a great way to show friends and family how it feels

for us, try it (but tell them to squeeze themselves or you may lose a

friend! LOL!)

Hugs,

Heidi
