With all the ups and downs you give me hope. It has been about two years since I noticed I had given up all my hobbies, and one year since I had to quit work due to RA, I have just had my third infusion drug change since nothing has worked so far, and now after the third ifusion of Actemra I am close to hitting bottom. You know how it is you have a good day and think its finally working then overdue it and bam back to using a walker in the morning. I continue to try and do as much as I can but not more than I should and hope to get to where you are. I was feeling very down tonight and reading your post has helped I am sure you know a little hope goes a long way.
Thank You
Rich

I sometimes try to explain to people the difference between “good pain”, “bad pain”, and “normal pain”, but they just don’t get it. Keep up the positive attitude!

I think you’re fantastic! You’re attitude IS totally infectious, as another poster said. I’m hanging out in the space between a plethora of come and go symptoms and a diagnosis. But when my doctor said they were testing for RA I looked it up and found your blog. And I am so, so glad I did. Because regardless of what it is I’ve ‘got’, your outlook has already taught me a lot about how to keep a good attitude. Thanks!! And all the best wishes for you. Looking forward to more pics from your SLR too!

Hi, Son! Love this attitude that’s coming through in your writing!!–good for you!–so good to hear you’re enjoying your life…rheumatoid and all. Can’t tell you how happy it makes me to be reading this…a few times this past week I’ve had pain in my hands so bad–and right away my thoughts go to you and the pain the you express experiencing–my pain lasts awhile then goes away (I’m so grateful for that)…don’t know what I would do if it lasted for hours (like yours)–I find myself wonderful if I could manage/endure? Love you lots, son….Mom
