Not being able to hold a book up was a very early symptom that I ignored for so long. I guess it’s easy to put down to tiredness.when you constantly work 70+ hours per

Best wishes on getting your referrals for medical attention in the US. I have been so mired in my own situation I missed your request for help. If you still need anything let me know. I want to read stories of improving health on your blog!

I think we all have our own methods of coping with our illness’s, whether that be to turn in on ourselves ( I do this when in very severe pain), or to try and make something positive out of something negative, have a laugh about it, it’s better than crying and I do this very often.
I don’t wish to pull others down with negativity so try and keep a good sense of humor about all those little things that I may have to deal with on any given day. That’s not to say that I don’t ‘deserve’ to have days when I wish it all away and yes maybe even get angry at my RA/body. RA is a roller coaster so it only follows that our emotions should go up and down with the ride.
How we choose to deal with it is a personal choice but I’d far rather be the bubbly, happy, funny person I was before all this than the scared, less bubbly, less energetic girl that I find I now see looking back at me from ‘my’ mirror & that’s the side that I prefer people to see, that I’d want them to remember one day when my time is done.
