You’re brave, too. When I first started taking meds for my new and renewed fight with RA last summer, the doc started me on Methotrexate. Wow. I’ve never felt so wiped out and ill in my life, and it went on for the entire three-month trial period. I spent the whole summer, practically, in bed. For me, that drug was worse than the rheuma. Doc took pity on me and switched me to Arava, which I tolerate well. Since then I’ve been up and about. Well, mostly. ;o)

You have a great attitude. Thanks for sharing it with us and inspiring us to join you in smiling and finding new ways to deal with this disease.

It’s 3:00 in the afternoon and I’m still not dressed. This is nothing new for me since being diagnosed with RA (it is something however I would NEVER have done prior to my diagnosis!). But it’s now become my daily mode of operation. Everyday I do a lot of contemplating about whether I’m not dressed because I don’t have the where-with-all to make it happen, or if I’m not dressed because I’ve passed the point of where-with-all and have moved to a place of complacency. I suppose it doesn’t really matter whether I don’t have the energy or whether I’ve just become complacent. The bottom line for me is I see a pattern here… and it’s not one that’s really doing me any good.
Thanks for the enlightening post.
Be well.
Christie

I am happy to hear that you are doing well these days. Keep up the good work and as you know, progress doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time. You are pretty tough and that is something to be grateful for and a great qualify to have.
