    • About Me

      I am 39 yrs old and diagnosed with RA in September 2008. I also have had Hypothyroidism since 2005. I enjoy a full time career in municipal government. I own an older home that keeps me busy. I come from a large family, none of whom have RA. I am glad to have found DS to correspond with others that can relate with what I am going through.
