Hi again, hope you’ve had some refreshment from your Sunday. All (super)power to your elbow. Do you have that saying in the US?

Right there with you. For myself, I’m trying to figure out when the depression is something normal that will pass, and when it deepens to the point of being truly problematic. A certain amount of depression definitely goes with this illness – it would be unreasonable to expect someone experiencing what we do to be cheerful all the time. But I want to make sure I’m not completely sucked into my depression.

I read your blog daily and I can’t tell you how much it helps. Wonderful, honest writing – thank you.

just wanted to say this is everything we go through. The amount of depression and anxiety associated with flares are inmeasurable. I keep telling myself that the light at the end of the tunnel is NOT a train!!!
Buck up little camper this to shall pass!!! OXOXOX

You’re not alone. I don’t have the level of pain you describe, but the constant fatigue depresses me to no end. No one but other RA folks have a clue what it’s like and when you look fine, they really don’t get it.
Your writing keeps me sane.
