So I've finally decided it's just time for all of us to come together and come up with a new name for this stupid disease!!  No one knows what the heck it is and I am sore tired of having to spell it out for everyone.  I mean even my DENTIST seemed absolutely clueless and considering I'm on "the meth" and am scheduled for a root canal.....dunno, just seems like he ought 'ta know somehow!  He just went off on this thing about how his knee sometimes bothers him when he plays basketball.  I know, right?!!  So!! I've decided to start the suggestions off by going to grinched.com. I've entering "rheumatoid arthritis" in the spot where you can get the equivalent "Who" name.  It came up with "Romantic Rheumatoid Aboo-Who".  I'm thinking "Hey! Works for me"!!  So what d'ya say?  Who's (aboo-hoo) with me??!
