Worries of Rheumatoid Arthritis Vacation Unnecessary

Last month I wrote about the anxiety I felt before the vacation I had planned with my mom and five siblings to Maine.

"Good-bye" Worries of Rheumatoid Arthritis: Welcome Summer!

Summer, it is almost here. There are so many things I love about summer. I love lying in the sun for hours. I love the carefree feeling of wearing shorts, sundresses, and sandals and finally packing away the layers of clothes I have worn for too many months.
