Twisted joints aflame
Hot tea makes one forget pain
Flowers bloom outside

Ruth said this is the way it really is….
Twisted joints inflamed
Holding heat eases the pain
Flowers bloom in my heart

No guarantees! Ruth told me I did not have it quite right so she wrote her own version which I added to the original.!

I love warming my hands on a hot cup of tea! My grandma had arthritis real bad in her hands.

Thank you Lisa. When you see the joints disintegrate, it is no wonder there is pain there.

Both very beautiful, not taking sides!! But you do know Rule #1 Don’t you? When the Queen is happy
The land is happy!!! Ha! My step father had arthritis in his hands. Couldn’t shuffle cards and it hurt to shake hands. I told him about Paul Harvey’s Arthritis cure and he tried it without the gin and in two weeks his hands were fine again. Could shake hands like a vise grip – Check it out on Google – Paul Harvey’s Arthritis cure – buy the golden raisins. Hey, raisins can’t hurt You????

Thanks Chuck. Your are right… you see I went back and added her version!
Arthritis is a real destroyer of the body. I heard of the Paul Harvey cure a number of years ago. I will have to look it up again and tell her about it! I appreciate your thoughtful and helpful response!

Happy to help. It worked like a miracle for my Step-father but it doesn’t for everyone. I hope it does for her!
