My mother has arthritis. I woudl like to suggest bees venom therapy, but I wold like to have some feedback from people who either had this treatment done, or know someone who did… And what particular condition they had this procedure done??

I am almost done with my Christmas shopping but one person I am having trouble with. I was able to get my grandmother on my mother’s side something she’d like and that is personal and even a little funny, but my other grandma is much harder to shop for. I shall explain:

My grandma has many health issues so leaving the house is painful and very difficult so getting her something like a necklace to show off wont work, besides, anything with a latch she can’t do because she has really bad arthritis. She has bad hips (several surgeries) so nothing like new shoes since she doesn’t walk around much and she has such a sensitive diet (there is very little she can eat) so nothing like chocolates and anything baked is iffy. I want to get her something to make her laugh because she has a laugh that I love, like a hooting, I can’t help but smile when I hear it. She’s different from my other grandma so getting her the same thing wouldn’t have the sentiment and also, I hate giving people the same thing.

No one really knows what she likes besides puzzles, but we give her puzzles all the time so it wouldn’t be special. I know that if you’re reading this you too might be stumped, and I wish I could tell you more about what she likes and I’ve asked people who know her but they don’t really know either. Here is what I do know:

Puzzles
Western movies
Charlie Brown
Cute animal pictures (especially when on a puzzle)
My dog (A deranged goldendoodle)
Elf yourself.com
Cartoons (the old school kind like bugs bunny and mickey mouse. She likes that kind of humor)
Newspaper comics.
Going to church.
My sarcastic humor.

Additional facts:
She was a Rosie the Riveter.
She lives in a farming area.
She has two kids, my father and his sister.
She is very tidy. (And we often go to help fix things around the house and clean and she has someone to help clean too)
She misses my grandfather so much. This last one I put here because I wish there was something I could do that involved his memory in a way that wouldn’t make her cry, but that would make her laugh and remember all of his hilarious stories or something, but she is not in that stage of grieving yet, he died about a year ago. Before anyone says it, I will not write her a touching letter nor send her flowers because she hates those things since they remind her of when my grandfather died.

If this leaves you with little ideas, I apologize, but I didn’t want a bunch of answers with something that she could have or enjoy.
No animals, she can’t take care of them. An outfit or a scarf is an idea, but she can’t go to church often due to her health issues, so it’s only once in a blue moon. :/

I’m not sure what kind of Dr to even see can someone help?

Hello all,
I have been suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis of the spine, namely ankylosing spondylitis. I need help urgently, kindly guide me to a very good doctor, who has very good reviews, and is very well known in the New Jersey area!!

I have symptoms of Ewing’s, but I had blood tests for Lyme Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis. All websites I’ve seen have not mentioned blood tests under the ways to detect Ewing’s, only CT scans, MRIs, etc…
Would my blood tests for other conditions have shown something cancerous, or would it have been detected if they were only looking for Lyme and Athritis?

I was just wandering if there were any inexpensive or home remedies for dogs with arthritis. I just started taking care of my brothers dog/baby, he’s had her for 17 year.She’s a boxer/lab mix and one of the best pets a person could ask for. I guess due to her age she has trouble getting up and down, I just hate to see her have such trouble, and I’m sure sleeping on the floor isn’t helping them old bones. I do have a doggie bed & blankets for her. I just want to try to help her until her daddy, can get back here to get her. Any suggestions?
