I was diagnosed in 2001 with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was terrified and thought I would never move without pain again. Now, 7+ years later, I am training for a Half Marathon. My RA is under control thanks to Humira and a good fitness plan and I plan to keep it that way! My RA story and ongoing progress is all here: http://rustedrunner.blogspot.com/ I hope my blog will give hope to others with RA and inspire them to move forward and live stronger.

I'm so jealous. I miss running.
My first flare came in 2002 when I never really recovered from my second half-marathon. I was diagnosed two years later. This last summer I was well enough to walk several miles a day and think about running again. Then I relapsed big-time. I'm on my second month of Embrel now and working back into shape. Thanks for sharing your story. It gives me hope.
