"Kia ora" is a Maori greeting said here in Aotearoa/New Zealand. It means hi or hello. It's the end of another week. I've recently come to the realisation that I have developed possible arthritis in my hands and arms which is hereditary - my dad has it and so did his mother (my nana) so at the moment I've found taking Glucosamine in capsule form can help. If you have this condition and have any ideas please leave me a comment.
Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

No conocía ese saludo. Espero que vayas mejorando lo de tus manos, con las recomendaciones de tu médico.
Que tengas un buen fin de semana de descanso.
I've suffered with arthritis in my lower back for years until I started a mostly carnivore diet two years ago. I eat red meat every day, no seed oils, low or no carbs and stay away from sugar and packaged foods. I lost 30 pounds with-in months and my pain has gone way down, some days no pain at all.
I hope you can find a solution to your arthritis, my mother had it may years ago but I have no idea what she took to relieve the pain.
oh no! Hopefully someone has some ideas!
That's a lovely photo and find Māori an interesting and beautiful language. Sorry to read about your arthritis. I am having problems and if I learn of anything, I've made a note to come back and tell you.
I hope the glucosamine continues to bring you some relief, and it’s good you’re finding small ways to ease the discomfort while keeping connected through your reflections
I used to work at a stable called Kia ora stud, now I know it translates to, hello stud!
Arthritis - get really good physiotherapist advice on exercises that strengthen muscles that support the affected joints. People used to be told to rest the painful joints but science/medicine has arrived at understanding that 'use it or lose it' has real meaning for arthritis sufferers. Strengthening and movement are important.
Thank you, yes I will look into your suggestions. I have since found some information that eating too much sugar or salt can inflame the joints so I have cut back on those and there has been an improvement.
That's bad news. My wife is also slowly but surely experiencing more problems with it. She did try glucosamine, but she didn't feel any positive effects. I hope you find something that helps you.
...Amy, you seem to have plenty of Ks to work with!
That sounds like a lovely greeting in N.Zealand Amy. I hope you have a lovely week ahead
Amy, I hope you can get relief from this, you're too young to have this. On our 2013 Aus/NZ cruise we stopped for a morning with the Māori's. Most enlightening visit, literally "Rubbed Noses" with them.

Interesting you say that, I've since found out that too much sugar or salt in the diet can make arthritis flare up, I've been so much better since cutting down on both.
Great.
