Last Thursday and Friday

I was itching like crazy all over. I woke up Saturday with the joints

in my hand swollen bad and hurting. My mom says I should stop using

them so much but I think it's probably good for them. The doctor told

me to use a stationery bike to keeps my legs from getting stiff so it

only makes sense that using my hands would do the same. Any thoughts?

I've had thhe same problem the last month or so. Limiting your activity can

be ok for a flare up, but dont stop using your hands all together. can you

take any meds for it? I personally take 5mg of prednisone before bed. That

seems to help the swelling and pain.i wake up and am able to start my day.

That's

just my experience tho. Ask your doc before taking anything. hugs hope you

feel better.
