      Thanks for the kind words. I'm in denial most of the time...until the pain sets in. LOL I think this site is a wonderful place to come when you are having a bad day or just have a question. Most of these people are better than the doctors :) Hope your journey leads you to be pain free and happy!!

      Any time, Julie. I think you're at the toughest point w/RA. Until the meds kick in the pain is awful. Hopefully you'll begin to feel improvement soon. Hugs, Lisa
