Cathee I do understand everything you are saying, I've gone through all of it, I wonder all the time, everyday, I find myself racing against my life, I want to live, I am so scared I won't be around for long, for my daughter, my husband, my friends and family, but then I realize I will be ok...
I love your story, I am inspired by it, THANKS!
Cathee,
You have touched my heart deeply. I have been newly diagnosed with RA. I've had osteoarthritis, spondylosis, fibromyalgia and a blood disease for over ten years. My new husband still wanted to marry me...we married this last June;) after dating for ten months. In August I was Diagnosed with RA. It is extremely crippling as you know. My husband is very supportive and loving. As my body is going through changes especially now with the side affect of prednisone (weight gain, puffing out, etc.) I am feeling very unattractive. As I was just reading your sharepost my husband walked in, you hit the point straight on the head, I couldn't even read your message out loud to him anymore (tears swelling in my eyes and rolling down my cheeks), so he came over and finished reading for us. He said that is something that we both needed to hear, he was just telling me the other night that he loves me for sicker or for poorer...... I just didn't think is was going to be here so quickly....(the sicker part). You are truly a Blessing for us to have found today...I truly needed to hear your words. Thank you very kindly. Take Care & God Bless,

I was almost 19 years old, a college student, filled with ambition and dreams. I remember exiting the Science Building at the university after one of my classes, on one particular day. My legs, especially my right knee, felt uncharacteristically weak and painful as I descended the stairs. This was the first day of a life-altering condition. The problem with my knee persisted over the next few weeks. I began my search for answers and medical care with my family Internist. He did the basic tests and diagnostics he could do, then fast-forwarded me to an Orthopedic Surgeon for a consultation. I had the doctors perplexed. I was seemingly too young to have arthritis, though my x-rays showed significant changes in my knee joints.This chronic diseases has ghastly taken over my mind emotionally mentally physically and financially. while goggling one day i found a website calledhttp://www.trumedcanada.com/index.aspx where i got my medicine at best priceshttp://www.trumedcanada.com/RX/Bonviva.Ibandronate.aspx now i have over taken my disease and i am happy leading my normal life.

I've had RA in every joint of my body since I was five. I'm almost 32. My best friend (since I was 13) made me realize something the other day. She was talking about one of her sisters friends who was diagnosed with RA a couple of years ago. This friend was talking about how she couldn't get out of bed one day. My friend was so upset with her. She told me that she knew she didn't feel that bad, because I never felt that bad and I have a pretty severe case. She said that this girl should just butch up and get out of bed and stop complaining.
I realized, I did this to my friend. By not talking about my pain, by just pushing through and grinning and bearing it, I led her to believe that RA isn't as bad as it seems. I made her less compassionate. I'm trying to change that now, but it's so hard when you've been trying to hide everything for so long.
Thank you.
