I have bacterial infection, thrush (has anyone else got this) and am unable to take my RA meds. Needless to say I am miserable! The Dr did give me pain medicine which helps some.

Actually, I only used it once a day after the first week - until about a month later, when my doctor had assured me that "If it helps, use it twice a day."  Now, if i dont', I get feeling REALLY BAD, like someone has kicked me in the Solar... Read moreChevron

Life Doesn't Stop Just Because You Have Rheumatoid Arthritis

When I first found out that I had rheumatoid arthritis, I felt like the world needed to stop turning and hang perfectly still on its axis until I could get my bearings and understand what was happening to me.  I wanted to hit pause on some universal remote control long enough to catch my breath and figure out what all of this meant and then... Read moreChevron
