Swine Flu Vacation

Friday afternoon my nose started running. On Saturday the fever hit. My fourteen-year-old went though this a week ago, so I knew what was in store.

expanding your family despite RA

My husband and I have dicussed having another baby around a year from now. I am leary of this because although I had some symptoms of RA before my pregnancy, the pregnancy exacerbated the symptoms to the point of reaching the diagnosis.
