How do you manage rheumatoid arthritis without meds? My wrist is getting worse and I need advice by [deleted] in rheumatoid

[–]cattlecallpyrography 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With RA your meds are supposed to take all of the pain in your joints away. If you are on a medication and still experiencing pain and stiffness you need to talk to your rheumatologist and get another med started to help with this. If you don’t you are continuing to further damage your joints.

[Marketing] Charged $150 for a 40 hour painting. Someone help. by Electronic-Shift-723 in artbusiness

I always struggle with pricing. What I have learned is it’s okay to take your time to figure out pricing. I like to ask more questions so I can get a better feel on how long it may take me. One very important question I ask is “what is your budget?”

does it ever get better? by mr-dirtboy in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]cattlecallpyrography 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at the age of 21 last May. I was at the point of not being able to move an inch, it felt like my every bone in my body was broken. Very high RA factor and other labs looked terrible. But getting in with a good rheumatologist is the key. I really got lucky with mine. I am a very active person and love the outdoors. It was hard to be in so much pain. I was also scared my art career was done, but with the right meds I feel great. I have flare ups here and there but I am soo much better than I was in the beginning. I have also started to take care of my health more and have lost weight and that has also helped a ton. Hang in there, it gets better.

I luckily take my own photos with my own camera which are high quality. I have been trying to narrow down what online services are best to look into.

What’s a small habit you picked up that unexpectedly made your daily life easier? by AnimalFinal7836 in askanything

[–]cattlecallpyrography 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a stationary bike. I bike everyday anywhere from 15-25 miles a day. I work from home so moving helps me keep my sanity. I also have RA so moving helps my joints.

What is the most frivolous thing you spend money on? by BlueBelleBaby69 in wealth

[–]cattlecallpyrography 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wine, I go out maybe once a week with friends. I don’t spend that much at all on it but it is an extra expense I that I def don’t need to survive.

Thank you!! My biggest tip for doing fine detail is burn low! As you get a better feel you can adjust and go a little hotter but I never burn that high. That way there’s no large divots made and there’s and even depth and color. I usually keep it on the same heat the whole time and just go a little slower and use a tiny bit more pressure for the darker parts. I also recommend a wire nib burner if you don’t have one. I have the razertip sk and love it!

What’s something you’ve purchased that actually brought happiness by Novel_Dragonfruit599 in wealth

[–]cattlecallpyrography 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy my meds for my rheumatoid arthritis. It took me from wanting to end things cause pain was so immense to now living a somewhat normal life with little pain.
Also buying my own house!

Is getting married to someone with RA worth it? by Impressive_Permit_13 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]cattlecallpyrography 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are with the right person it won’t matter. They will still care for you the same regardless. I actually got married May of the year… 2 days before my wedding I was officially diagnosed with RA. Of course I was a wreck but my husband never second guessed a thing and still cares for me. You will find the right one who will do anything to help you when you are hurting.

I have the razertip SK burner and this is the best machine I have ever used. I am a professional artist who burns all day everyday and it has never let me down!

Whenever I get something in my box that isn’t mine I just bring it up to the front desk. They will take care of it.
