Preparing for the worst

what you write means a lot to me. i am still getting used to this disease and no, its not fun AT ALL. a lot of what you say i really relate to...as do all of us that would be a member on this site. i have to take pills twice a day and sometimes forget to take the afternoon ones. let me tell ya- the next day i REALLY feel it..and already i know its not going to be a good day. it really puts you down when you have major plans. i really wish i could get dressed up and wear high heels w/ a cute dress. but NO. i can barely bend my feet to get in them, and if one day i can get them in... i can't walk at all and i cry because it hurts so bad.

its really nice reading the posts of people dealing with what i'm dealing with. i will truely never get used to this pain, but we just simply have to accept it.  and i honestly didnt want to take RA seriously until my mom told me i should join a discussion group about it to get more familiar with it. its been a huge eye opener and i'm glad i'm trying to educate myself more.

looking forward to reading more of your posts!

Wow, that is a lot at one time. I agree about RA being a thief. I was planning on a new venture in a new work area and because of an overstressed year, none of which I could avoid, I am now not working and am just trying to recover from a major flare. I am back on the heavy duty meds and am trying to make all my family understand that some things have to come to a halt. So I am trying to take care of myself by taking all my meds, getting back to my yoga and I am knitting up a storm.
