Been awhile I was away from blogosphere. There are many
reasons to enumerate. My eldest daughter is away from home. She has a board review, exams will be on
September. Hoping she will pass with
flying colors. Second daughter is in 4th
year college. My youngest is in first
year taking Tourism. And, I’m in stress
with my offline work. My mother is with
me, she is 72 years old, and she is suffering from arthritis. Having this illness is hell. She is in pain always, when it is very cold
she can’t walk really because her joint is killing her. I don’t give her a medication for her
arthritis always since it’s not good for her kidney and heart. If she can’t tolerate anymore the pain, then it’s
the time she will take her medication.
For her exercise, she does walking around our village. She maintains her diet of, no salt, no meat, no dairy products. Are you suffering with this illness too? What tips and advices can you give me? Taking this member of the family is very
tiring. But, as long as I am healthy I
will never tired of taking care of them, because they are all my precious
jewels.

I suffer from two different types of Arthritis (or so they diagnosed me) and I can completely sympathize with both of your situations; your mom's because of the horrible, spirit-crushing pain and yours because my mom is my care taker and I see how it does take a toll on her, too.
It sounds like you're doing a lot right with the mild exercise and the diet-It's VERY smart you're staying away from dairy because that causes inflammation (I stay away from it, too mostly). I would suggest trying to cut down on wheat or gluten, too. I've noticed a considerable difference that way.
In the mean time I hope things start settling down a bit and you have room to take some deep breaths and relax soon!
