I have cervical arthritis which is gradually taking over my life, as one by one things fall by the wayside.
Just wondering how others are finding the constant adjustments to life, particularly the emotional and psychological side, and if they have any good tips to share.

This article is a good, brief summary of what happens when arthritis strikes.

Mine hasn't been too bad, but while the last injection has helped, there are still constant headaches which are hard to shift, and it just wears me down.
Gone are travel, house maintenance, gardening, and curtailed are shopping, casual outings like picnics and social occasions, driving.
Seems that the list of things that I can do is shrinking daily, and then I have to pace myself.
I'm only 63, and I can't help wondering what lies ahead.
Would be very interested in the experiences of others in this situation.
I can still do essential things, a bit of meal preparation and odd jobs and so on, so it's not all that bad.
