Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks for posting this : I have seen this all over the net, i cant say I would try itl I just cant imagine grabbing a hot pot with my forearms, even though they are covered by the grabbers. It just looks more dangerous to try to grab it this way. My grip too is also shot. I find myself leaving the clean pots and pans on the stove, instead of putting them away, so i dont have to constantly lift them out. I dont carry things that are too heavy either, because I notice I dont have the strength in my hands or a grip anymore. RA still sucks - L0L:)) OKD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Do you take ultram along with the mtx? I find that the ultram is a neccessity for me, it really helps to mask the pain and helps also w fatigue. I also take skelaxin for my fibromyalgia and it helps also. I really can't function w/o them especially the ultram. I used to feel the same way you do but when I switched to mtx and the pain md and muscle relaxer the change was drastic. I do need my mtx to be at at least 12 mlg a wk if not 15, but w this regime the worst problem I have is the tightness and fatigue and it is still much beetter than before. I usd to have such fatigue I couldn't talk it took too much energy and I lived in bed, my body felt so strange it felt like it was melting into the bed, it was horrid. Good luck. ladeyangll ________________________________ From: OKD <Cofade_2000@...> Sent: Thu, March 17, 2011 10:14:30 PM Subject: [ ] Re: RA sufferers armed with kitchen safety tool  Thanks for posting this : I have seen this all over the net, i cant say I would try itl I just cant imagine grabbing a hot pot with my forearms, even though they are covered by the grabbers.
