Poor guy- all he wants is to simply live simply. Love is grand... and love hurts. I can totally relate.
Jay,
re:arthritis
You might want to experiment with capsaicin cream (chilli peppers) as a topical application. It reduces decapeptide substance p (stuff in sinovial fluid that has a strong relationship to pain and also corrodes cartilage). It has been shown to be effective in about 60% of arthritis cases as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory agent.
There is also a substance called DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide) - unfortunately not growable - that is pretty much a universal solvent and is particularly good at getting stuff through the skin (think ~needleless injection). In your position it might be worth investigating a mixture of DMSO and capsaicin (dried and powdered chillis/cayenne pepper/chopped fresh chillis in dmso should all work) as an emergency linament.
If you go DIY you want the hottest chillis you can find. Comes in handy for curries too...
I will try to find some more growable medicinals for your condition/climate.
I said you could use the picture from the Newspaper... Not the one of my wife and me!
