My question:

Is it normal using cutlery always hurts? Every single time I use knife, fork of spoon for anything else but scooping something soft, it hurts. It’s been like this my entire life. Are people really in pain every time they eat without anyone speaking of it???

          I wouldn’t be surprised if you have psoriatic arthritis. But you should probably consult a physician.

              Any time. You might want to consider getting adaptive utensil holders. Look at some online and see how they’re held. Might be helpful.

                  I’m not trying to sound flippant here or anything, but if holding cutlery or similar objects like scissors causes you pain, then what’s the harm in trying to manipulate those objects in a different way? The worst that can happen is it doesn’t solve the problem.

          They’re easy to restore just have some jello every now and then. While i’m here: Iodine is another thing that most people are deficient in. The supplements are called “kelp” you can take one every 3 or so days to bring yourself to normal levels. You can also take a list of everything you eat read the labels and find out what you might be lacking in. Avoid multivitamins, they suck.
