We do go through the acceptance and denial many times as the disease does its work on us, day by day and year by year. But some how, some way, we are survivors and we keep going! God bless us, each and every one!

Its amazing that I sit there reading and in some parts I’m like….”Hey thats me!” I will admit it was a little rough getting into but I read it every night when I get home from work just to see “what happens next.” I would recommend this book to anyone with RA or their spouses/partners. It really does capture what is going on in our bodies and gives a possible glimpse into things that may come. Thanks for the recommendation RA GuY!

It gets tiring to say the least. I also have accepted my disease. I found your story very moving, it touched my heart . Keep up the good work! I hear from many woman on my arthritis site but only a handful of men. I am very glad to hear it from a male perspective.

There are some great tips and home remedies in there from the famous prof which I’m sure you’ll find invaluable.

Definitely worth the read.

(As a designer I’ve always drawn, so this whole writing thing is new for me. I’m liking it.)

Kim, I agree that we need to not lose hope, but instead add a little realism to our expectations. Great metaphor, thank you.

Miss Waxie, thank you. I love your comics as well. For readers who haven’t done so, be sure to check out Miss Waxie’s blog at http://acomiclifeindeed.wordpress.com/

Cathy, coping through punctuation. Sounds so easy that way, no? Cathy’s blog deserves a call out as well – http://www.thelifeandadventuresofcatepoo.blogspot.com/ She presents a beautiful world of motherhood, homeschooling, and holistic and mindful approached to dealing with RA.

Jennifer, thank you so much for the book suggestions. I have posted them on the front page, and was motivated to start a new “RA & The Arts” page to keep track of these resources. Thanks again!
