I just wanted to say, that RA has made me cherish and appreciate my life more than I ever did before I got it. No i dont like the pain that comes with RA, but I do spend more time enjoying the peacefulness of reading, elliptical machines, watching movies, the pool and naps. Love Love Love all those activities (because I need them), and since i have less energy, i am more content just hanging out with the family and working in an office. Maybe this just comes with age, but I'm still only 24, and I am so thankful for everything around me; especially the meds!!! hahaha
Yes, I do appreciate how RA has slowed me down to notice the love and support of my husband. Before RA I flew through life and took a lot for granted. The pain and unpredictability of the disease are tough. I am starting to really take care of myself from the inside out.
