This is my first post ever. I usually just lurk and take in all of your wisdom, but I have something that I never heard of before. Maybe it will help.
I have been struggling with osteoarthritis for years. My chiropractor had me mix a concoction of different size and texture - salt, flour, popcorn, lentils - whatever, in a bowl and play with it. It is a bit messy, but it did help get some feeling back in my fingers.
My quilting is still a mess. Everything that seems to come easily to most of you is so hard for me. But I still love it.
Good Luck
