Sounds like you have some strong women,and a strong little girl, in your family!   Your positive attitude will have a big impact on how they deal with RA. They see you being strong, and never giving up, and that is what is going to keep them going and fighting.

I cant imagin what you may feel, I have RA and that is my fear that one of my daughters will have RA.  You have my best of wishes to your family. With a tough mother and grandmother like you, your girls will win every time. Even with Mr. RA staying around.

If you ever need to talk, vent, or have questions please feel free to talk to me. I know how important it is to let it all out sometimes.

Take care, and stay stong....

Thanks for your comment. We call it strong but my husband calls it stubborn. I told him whatever works and he agreed with me. My sister who also has RA, my daughter and I all use the same doctor, when I told her that KayLyn had JRA she gave me a hug and said when KayLyn moved from childrens to university she have a special clinic for our family.

Thanks again and my God Bless
