ARTHRITIS SUFFERERS

lect
that wi

FOR PEOPLE with chronic
diseases such as arthritis,
Christmas can bring pain as well as
pleasure. When your joints are
stiff and swollen and you are fa-
tigued most of the time, chopping
fruit for the cake, wrapping gifts,
even having fun can be exhausting.

If you have arthritis, or know
someone who does, these hint’
from the Arthritis Society may
help you through the coming
Christmas season.

Wondering what to buy?
Lightweight pots and pans and
dishes are a boon, as is a duvet —
much easier to handle during
bed-making than the traditional
sheets-and-blankets combination.

Got a card-sharp in the family?
A card shuffler or holder would be
a nice surprise.

How about a wheeled trolley, a
bookstand or a hand-held shower
attachment? Kitchen shears are
easier for some people to use than
knives. .

While elasticated gloves gently
massage chilly hands, hands too
swolicn or tender to fit inte gloves
can be tucked into a muff — alsoa
good idea inside the house for feet.

Want to give something really
different? How about a gift

resents
help

voucher for a perm or a facial —
even a massage.

Seme of the nicest gifts of all
cost nothing more than a little of
somenne’s time. If you know
somesme with arthritis, why not
voluateer to address Christmas
cards or prepare a dish to take
along whei invited for dinner?

If you’re the one with arthritis,
remember — if you go to the
supermarket, let the shopping cart
take most of your weight. Buy
convenience foods (mixes, etc.)
and prepare and freeze as many of
your Christmas foodstuffs ahead
of ime as you can.

Shopping by phone or catalogue
anc having parcels delivered can
save you lots of time and energy.
Ure the gift-wrap service provided
by most large stores or use gift
toxes or bags rather than paper
and ribbon.

How about an artificial tree?
ard to tell from the real thing
those days, and maintenance-free.

Last but not least — don’t be
afrai’ to let friends and relatives
know what they can do to help you
during the holiday season.
