I was diagnosed in 1995 with RA, and I have experienced every range of emotion with this disease. Some days are easier than other days, but my disease has not gone into remission, so I keep plodding along, often denying the fact that I have this stuff. I am able to get out and about; however, some days I have to wait for another person to press the elevator button to get it to move. Today is not such a good day, mostly mentally. Tomorrow will be better.

I don’t have any answers, being newer at this task than you are. I’m still not certain when I’m just having a flare in the midst of a mostly working medication regime or seeing my medications become less effective.
