It is pretty unpleasant though and I had no idea what it was to get an ulcer until I got many, I really feel there are huge gaps in what the doctors want you to know… education, with real information about what you can expect from this condition and how they might deal with things like that is so important, specialists are often too focused on “their” treatment regime and the internet is a scary place if you start reading alone!

I also couldn’t view her video, but I’m impressed she still looks so well presented and collected in the still shot, after going through so much… what a superhero!

Thanks for sharing RA Guy.

Meanwhile, reading Emma’s story reminds me not to take the mobility and opportunities I still do have for granted.

There is a lot of information in the two links above for the rest of us, though.

Darn. What an awful thing for Emma, or anyone, to face, though. I hope that stem cells WILL help her, somehow, and perhaps the rest of us too, someday.
