365 tips for living with rheumatoid arthritis
Sometimes, even the slightest twisting and turning can be extremely painful.
A new tube of toothpaste resulted in a Eureka! moment.
Have you noticed how flip-top caps are both easier and quicker to use?
I discovered that those caps are interchangeable – more often than not, the cap will fit onto a screw-top tube of toothpaste.
So, if you’re getting frustrated with a screw-cap, don’t flip your lid, flip a top!
That’s a great idea, Marianna 
It also reminds me how annoying and difficult it can be to open prescription bottles (or at least they are here in the U.S. when they are child-proof). I really should take the time and let the pharmacy know that my kids are past that young age so that I can have non child-proof caps and not have to press so hard plus twisting in order to open the tops!
Hi Dorlee,
Those prescription bottles are child-proofed here, too.
My pharmacy has it on file that I’d like those chubby bottles with the easy-off caps – http://rheumfuloftips.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/all-you-gotta-do-is-ask/.
(I don’t know if you had a chance to read Chanone’s comment on that post. Are you familiar with the bottles she’s talking about?)
Thanks for stopping by and advancing the posts!
