It has been about 3 1/2 years since the mean and ugly Rheumatoid Arthritis became full blown- like an atom bomb in my body. I have dealt with it 24/7 since then and I am ready for a break!
Up until then, I was like everyone else in the world with symptoms that would come and go...
But, today I am tired. Tired of having a sore throat and tired of needing help. I am tired of funny looks. I am tired of pills. I am tired of pain. Too tired to sound funny and and laugh about it.
If you feel like this too, maybe it will help to know you are not alone. I know how important attitude is and I work really hard at it. But I need a vacation from RA. Can someone else just do this for a while for me? Just for a week?
If you have never felt this way, thank God. And pray for the rest of us. I know this weary attitude will pass. Wish the RA would, too! 
Oh, I hear you! I've lived with this thing for over 40 years now and the idea of having a break from it for a week is intoxicating. I try not to think about it too much, though - it just makes me want to bang my head against the wall.
OUCH~
Oh no, please don't.
I guess my mind was undisciplined and so I was thinking irrationally. Most things do have an end - like childbirth pain. This track is more circular though...
Just dreaming of crossing the finish line. :D

Not irrationally at all. Well OK, so maybe not entirely realistic, but boy, it would be nice. But what would happen if we refused to take the RA back afte rthe vacation?
Bwhahahaha!
Thanks for that little stroll with me into "la-la land."
Seriously, I did try to out run it for a long time.
