Sex And RA

I know I'm known on my blog for being open, honest, and a straight shooter. But I've never quite talked so openly about the subject I am about to discuss. And I felt like I should, because all the "cool kids" with RA are doing it.   Let's talk about sex.   It's a part of life.   If we're being realistic, there are functional... Read moreChevron
