Dual Sport Life
“If you never take chances … you’ll never have anything to talk about.”

My name is Terry. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, but I am determined to enjoy life and not let this disease dominate me. I live with pain everyday, although most days it is a low scale pain. Dual Sport Life is an analogy of my struggle with RA. I have raced motorcycles for a large of my life, but have just recently found dual sport riding. The combination of my RA and land closure in the National Forrest’s in our area make dual sport riding a good alternative for me. I also love dogs, and have come to the conclusion that “Little Dog” owns us, not the other way around. I invite you to follow my blog as I will be posting on living with RA, dual sport rides and occasionally reliving some old racing memories.

Terry, whose site I have just come across, has been blogging for the past couple of years. He writing brings together his passion for dual sport motorcycle riding and his life with rheumatoid arthritis! This is definitely one combination that I have not come across before.

New Knees For Lisa
After 12 years of living with rheumatoid arthritis, I need total knee replacements I can’t afford. So I decided to throw myself at the mercy of the internet. Can the kindness of friends, friends of friends, and total strangers raise $7,600 and give me my life back?

Lisa has currently raised almost $3,400 towards her goal of $7,600.

Thanks to Sara at The Single Gal’s Guide to Rheumatoid Arthritis for linking to this blog on her Facebook fan page.

Synovial Syntax
“I am finding discovering and adapting to the limitations and plan changes imposed on me by RA as hard to bear with as the physical symptoms. I miss being more active and yet I’m often close to being overwhelmed by the challenge of raising two pre-schoolers.” This blog started earlier this month, take a look – the author’s writing style is amazing.

Bionic Lady
Adventures with artificial joints and rheumatoid arthritis. “At age 16 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. In the following 14 years I have had many ups and downs with this disease, including have two hip replacements by the age of 25. This is disease is a day-to-day struggle for me. For years I’ve tried to keep most of my feelings inside and prove that I can handle it. I think it is about time to get it all out.” This author has been writing since February of this past year.
