What are your favorite hobbies and distractions?
Whether it’s related to symptoms, flares, treatment side effects, or something unrelated to PsA, we all feel overwhelmed from time to time.
What are your favorite ways to get your mind off of things and feel better?
I enjoy cooking and baking and have plenty of time since retiring last year. I also love to read, murder mysteries are a favorite. My husband and I have planted a vegetable garden this spring and hope to have plenty of fresh veggies and more for canning and freezing.
Hello
, I love to bake also! I am also looking forward to starting my garden as well. Sounds like you have great hobbies!
Jill, Community ModeratorThank you! I'm pleased to meet you. Have a wonderful day.
I have crocheted since I was a child. Nothing fancy. I now use chunky yarn, padded hooks, hook holders for easy pick up. When my hands are unhappy I go wash dishes in warm soapy water. My items are now sold in a local shop!! Makes me so happy!
that is wonderful to hear. Sounds like you found a great solution so that you are able to crochet more. Vickie W., Team Member 
that is so great that you've been able to make accommodations to still be able to crochet. I learned to crochet as a kid, but it's been so long I think I'd only remember how to make one big long chain. What types of things do you enjoy crocheting or do you sell at the local shop? I'm always so impressed when people have such creative hobbies. Thanks so much for sharing with us here. Wishing you a gentle day. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
Abigal reading your post about continuing to crochet gave me hope this morning.
Thank you 😀
