BAM! Can be either "Bad Arthritis Moment" or "Beautiful Arthritis Moment"

Arthritis definitely adds "spice" to one's life. So, I created this BAM blog (thanks to Emeril for the inspiration) to chronicle those arthritis challenges and yes, those beautiful moments, whether it is a new coping strategy, someone reaching out to help, or something to take my mind off of my pain and disability. Hope you will be inspired and also offer your own "BAM" experiences!

BAM! Beautiful Moment

I've had plenty of BAM! as in BAD arthritis moments, since my diagnosis this past summer with psoriatic arthritis of the most severe type. But, with the help of biologics and (my love/hate relationship with) methotrexate, I'm able to have a few more BAM! Beautiful moments. One of them is today. I had missed my beloved fiber arts and today, cuddled up with a quilt on a stormy, island day, I'm able to gently caress a small skein of handspun alpaca yarn, trying to decide what I can create with it. Simple pleasures are the best. Don't let arthritis rob you of these moments.
