Regarding the lady, who has RA. Find out what meds she is on, and what she has tried. Many medications are extremely expensive for RA treatment, anywhere from $5000 - 75,000 a treatment. A lot of insurance companies will not cover it. But, the drug companies will cover the treatments.So she needs to get a rheumatologist, and apply for help. I can get the hot line numbers for these companies and apply for large subsidies.
I can assure you that nothing messes up someone worse than unmedicated RA.The pain and joint destruction is unbearable.
If that is her problem, I can give you lots of practical ways to help her. Plus, watching someone suffer is hard on the spouse.
Just tell you have a friend with RA for 20 years, and she would like to help. And understand it is not your fault you have such a contentious neighbour!

good Post Ang...
I have RA, and have had for many, many, years; just since my early sixties have my joints
been realigning, but, in a gentle way, if you know what I mean!
it's a rare morning when I wake and don't feel pain and numbness at the same time, but guess what?,
hub comes and rubs it out for a few hours, along with the herbs and spices and supplements that
our Heavenly Father has enlightened us to take in order to 'get through each and every day'...

That is wonderful he does that for you! I wish I had that mild of RA. When my flares are bad, my joints are not stiff, but swollen, red and puffy, and I lose function totally of the joint. Hubby is not allowed to touch me at all, when I am flared, although he is good for picking me up from bed, putting me in the wheelchair, pushing me to the bathroom, putting me on the toilet, taking me off, and repeat with bed as the destination. He was doing that 3 years ago, when I had a bad med failure. My rheumatologist said I am the worst case of RA he has ever seen. I never do anything by halves! Sigh!
That is why I am so grateful for doctors and modern medicine. I would be a bed bound person, if I had lived 50 years ago, like my cousin's grandmother. My goal is the best possible meds, so I can out of bed, and do the usual things I used to do. Some things have become impossible in the last three years,, like house cleaning, cooking is a challenge because I am so fatigued by supper. But, I can still study and read my Bible! That is the grace of God!
I understand you completely, we just take 'different approaches'...
hub says that he is truly amazed at my endurance and overcoming, he says,
'that he could never do what I make myself do 'in order to keep-on-going...
with the after affects of a broken-neck' and the after affects that come
with age deteriation, not to mention all of the 'other' things'
we have to persevere and hold ourselves 'up-right', and NEVER GIVE-IN', to the 'what is
trying to destroy us'...
hang in there, Sister, Jesus will always make a way for us to endure, one way or the other...
hugs and prayers to you sweetheart...
