****I will add more on this later today or over the weekend. I'm having a very bad day physically due to my Rheumatoid Arthritis. As the wonderful spiritual goes though 'We shall overcome some day!'*****

If you know anyone with Rheumatoid Arthritis - PLEASE do *not* treat them as though they are crazy, asked for it, 'but you don't ---look--- sick', are making this up in their head, & so on.

Those of us with RA don't treat you that way when you have lung cancer, emphasema, MS, ALS, Migraines, Bipolar disease, Parkinsons & on the list could go.. Arthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis are in two VERY different ball parks all together. RA is an ---Auto Immune Disease--- which affects every single part of the body & is eventually crippling as well as disfiguring. There is no known cure at this time.

Those of us with Rheumatoid Arthritis are still the same people on the inside - it just means we need your help,support,empathy, caring, and thoughtfulness even that much more on the outside on a day to day basis.

All for now...and I hope y'all have a great Friday.
