Well, like I said, my name is TJ, and I am originally from Arizona/New Mexico.  I am currently in Oregon, and am going to school at Mount Angel Seminary, studying for the Catholic Priesthood.  I have been diagnosed with RA for about six years now.  I do struggle with it at times, because of the severity of it, but for the most part, I try to have faith in the Lord, to give me the necessary strenght that I need to continue through out my day.  Because I am very young still, it is difficult at times to deal with the affects of the RA, but I stay positive, and active to try to make the most out of my life!

If you want to know more, just contact me, and we can talk some more...until then PEACE!!
