Thanks for your blog. I was diagnosed in June 2008 and have since lost a hip and a shoulder to the disease. We’re working on treatments and I’m still working 80 hours a week in the corporate world, but I love your insights and sense of humor as well as reality.

I just started on Simpony (similar to Humira) after Humira didn’t work and I couldn’t tolerate Methotrexate. It’s relatively new and I was wondering if you or any of your readers have any experience with it.

I don’t know if misery loves company, but I do love your posts. Please keep them coming.

I’ve very recently realised this for myself too. After spending 3-4 years not doing what I want to. Now I’m grabbing every opportunity I can, not only does it take my mind off the pain but I cope better with the pain and it has certainly made a huge positive difference emotionally. And funnily enough I am booked in for my first spinning class this Wednesday too!

It has helped him recover from hip replacements and shed some unwanted pounds. If he can use one, we all can you one. He has had RA for over 40 years.
