If it wasn't for the love of friends and family, it would be so much more difficult, I'm thankful to have them in my life as well as the people I've met on this board.

God Bless!!!

I have received wonderful advice here and i say thank you.
Ppl on this forum have helped me deal with fears of meds, my future, and all aspects that come with RA.

I have to say I'm super happy. Sunday I twisted and my sporadic nerve was killing me, had to get cortisone shot in my back monday, prayed and prayed like crazy, today it feels wonderful . That pain is the worst pain, all I kept thinking was, I will take all my RA pain,to get rid of that nerve pain. Its still a little tinder but I am so happy!
