Better Living Through Chemistry

arthritis returns
plaguing my extremities
time for aspirin
chemistry for sleepless nights
and painful aggravations

I am sorry you are also suffering with arthritis - I have it in both ankles!

I hear you there Milton. I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis for years. I take curcumin for my joint pain and it is incredibly effective. My arthritis flares up from time to time. Chemistry is always good when it relieves the pain... Hope your coping and have a good night of sleep my friend...

My wife was always saying "better living through chemistry." If it were not for "chemistry," I would not be alive and kickin'. But, I am grateful that they now have medicines which alleviate most of the pain and help us to live with serious health conditions. I have the plain old-age type of arthritis, I think. It makes me a good weather forecaster, though.
