Some days are better than others but the Spring and Fall really get to me when the weather changes. RA is something that runs in my family and it’s so nice to see others online just like myself!

You sum up my feelings exactly. I am in a mild flare now after my Rheum. said the remission word 2 months ago. I had such high hopes that flares were behind me, but, I’ll deal. Rather than letting it get me down, I am staying positive and remembering how much worse I was before.

I’m a teacher and there were days last year I couldn’r sign my name, so I had to buy a rubber signature stamp. This year, so far, my students don’t know I have RA. Like Milicent posted, “This too shall pass!”

Thanks for all the inspiring posts and best of luck to all of you for a pain-free day!

Sometimes I feel like the advances I am making are somewhat mundane, but then I see people’s reactions here on the blog and I recognize otherwise. I appreciate this.

Your drawings make me laugh (wheel chair episode!) and I can relate to you because my husband is also an architect and I know how hard it is for him to be restricted in his creative side. Fortunatley he doesn’t have RA. I am amazed at how you manage to have such good posts that are thought provoking, informational, and sometimes totally funny to boot. Thank you and hang in there with your most recent flare. Thinking of you. Sharlane

I must remember to come back and read this post when I have a flare! I want your rheumatologist though!!!!!
