I have rheumatoid arthritis, a very bad back, bad knees and a very weak bladder so I can certainly sympathize with your problems. I'm very lucky--I have a quilting daughter who layers all my quilts for me. :thumbup:

It takes a few weeks before you notice an improvement but it does work!!! Been using it for years and FINALLY my orthopedic doc recommends it. Not sure if I am allowed to recommend this on this board. I am a nurse just thinking about your problem. pm me.

I just love this board. Where else could we admit to these problems? If I get down on the floor, I scoot around on my backside. Knees cannot handle it. Bladder, etc., but thank goodness my brain works and I still can make beautiful quilts.

I used to take something that helped my knees so much. It had glucosamine but also something they called lubravite, which was white willow bark extract and ginger root extract. But unfortunately the company quit making it (changed their formulation) and the new stuff doesn't really work for me.

I can't get down on the floor either, lower back pain, hard to get back up! I tried the wall and it works pretty good, and I've even used my bed with hubby help! I hope you are able to find a way to get ur done!

We sound like a bunch of "old" ladies whose bodies are falling apart. My body may be taking a downslide, but my mind is still 28 years old and I am appreciating life. I tell my kids that I am still 37 years old (especially my 30 year old son).lol
I used the Sharon Shamber method of basting a quilt yeserday with the help of a friend. I did need the extra set of hands since I didn't know what I was doing, but it really seemed to work well.

I watched a second tutorial (I think it was you-tube)with Sharon Shambers regarding basting a quilt if you are going to HAND QUILT. The procedure was slightly different, but for the love of me I can't find it now. Anyone know where this one is???
