Joints Gone Wild

We’ve all seen (or at least heard of) the “Girls Gone Wild” video series…but are you ready for RA Guy’s latest twist on this popular franchise?

I previously posted this image on my blog more than a year ago, but thought it was time to share it again, especially considering my recent return to the swimming pool!

LOL! I missed this post the first time around, likely because RA was not a part of my life then. Glad to know this post is catching another wave this year! Cowabunga dude!

- How My Pain And Disability Improved My Life
  Nine years ago tomorrow--on the day that I turned 30--I submitted a letter of resignation to my manager. My roaring twenties were over, and I could not be happier. By all practical purposes, the previous decade had been filled with many different successes: I graduated from Columbia, I graduated from Harvard, and only a few years later, I was earning ...
- Through The Looking Glass
  I used to think that accepting the reality of my rheumatoid arthritis meant that I would be giving in to this disease. As long as I grabbed on to the life that I wanted (thus avoiding what was obviously becoming the life that I had), I figured that I would be okay. For a while this actually seemed to work, and ...
- My Own Personal Serenity Prayer
  I had big plans for this morning. First, I was supposed to wake up early to take my dog Alva to the vet, so that we could check her blood sugar levels. Then, later in the morning we were going to do some shopping, followed by lunch at whatever restaurant happened to be in the vicinity of wherever we found ...
- The Importance Of Having Confidence In Our Decisions
  Many readers know that, for almost the past year, I have been treating my rheumatoid arthritis without medications. Some people have interpreted this as me saying that I'm not doing anything for my RA, something which could not be further from the truth. During this past year, I attended physical therapy on a 2x or 3x weekly basis, I successfully incorporated ...
- Cleanup In Aisle 7, Please
  Yesterday morning, I started my Friday in my usual way: I left my house at 10:00 am, in order to go to physical therapy. (I rarely ever make commitments before lunchtime, but I will make an exception for PT.) During my session, we did some of our regular therapies: heat, ultrasound, and electrotherapy. I was a little surprised that toward the ...
- What Is A Rheumatoid Arthritis Flare?
  This is a rheumatoid arthritis flare: January 16, 2011 I woke up crying today. It used to be that I could alleviate some of the pain by staying still…but today, the exact opposite seems to hold true. It hurts to sit down. It hurts to stand up. It hurts to lay down. Pressing my forearms down on a tabletop, placing all of my weight ...
- Rheumatoid Arthritis And Physical Therapy
  "Physical therapists, also known as physiotherapists, comprehensively assess RA patients in an ongoing manner. The evaluation of each patient includes an examination of affected joint flexibility, bony alignment/joint deformity, muscle strength, endurance, mobility, ambulatory status, and the ability to perform activities of daily living. It can be a delicate balance to enhance mobility and strength without fatiguing the patient or ...
- Respecting Limits
  I have about a dozen memories from a very young age that I'm able to recall with such clarity, that it almost feels like these events took place just a few minutes ago. One of them was having my first grade teacher read a story to the class, as she held up the book over her shoulder for everyone to ...
- Lifestyle Changes & Eliminating The Blame Game
  Earlier this year, during the midst of what has definitely been my worst flare ever, something interesting happened: I suddenly realized how much time, energy, money, and hope I was spending on my desire to make my pain go away. And even though I knew, firsthand, the ravaging effect that rheumatoid arthritis often had on my body, for the first ...
- It's About Us
  "RA Guy's website about living with rheumatoid arthritis is without a doubt the best RA website on the Internet. His posts about his personal journey through life with RA are thoughtful, life affirming, inspirational and down-to-earth. They're also reliably factual about the disease and the drugs that treat it. He's an excellent writer with a seemingly endless supply of post ...
