Good question.
For me it means a low pain active day.
Where I can get up shower without sheer force & simply go on with my day.
I love to laugh & most of all bring laughter to others. I'll try my best for this sick around me no matter how I feel. Yet it's nice to feel like laughing.
Nice to not mind making dinner instead of dreading it.
Oh how I love those days.
My first grandson gives me joy & something to push through the pain.
Some days I just wish I did not have to push through, you know?
Here's to more good days!

a good day for me with RA is, well...ummm, never mind. Considering the gender percentages of those with RA and I'm in the definite minority, I think I'll agree with the two posters thus far.

A good day for me is where I can get out of bed with ease and I don't have to roll over and brace myself for the pain of standing up. Also, any day I can get a good workout in is a GREAT day for me. I'd give anything to have my athletic, gym rat self back :(

A good day to me is one when I don't have the fatigue/fog going on. It's been long enough that the pain is a given - I've become used to it and am lucky enough to have some mild pain meds.

To be able to think clearly and not sleep most of the day is great. I've been getting a couple days a week like that now that the Enbrel is finally doing a little something. With the clear head comes some ambition that I sorely lost the past 2 years and a little humor and laughter.

I'll take the pain if you take the fog away!

A good day for me is when I get up in the morning and realized I actually had a good night sleep without being up with severe pain. Where I can walk from room to room without needing the walking boot and realize mid way thru the day that I have barely used my power wheelchair.

. A good day is where I can go volunteer with the police dept and not be stuck behind the laminator all day while doing kid i.ds in the Mobile command post but I am actually out interacting with the children weighing, measuring, fingerprinting, etc. On less pain days I am doing these things that involve sitting, rising, walking, and bending. A good day is where the grandkids are here and I can keep up without watching the clock obsessively because I am in pain or exhausted

It is when I am feeling thankful for whatever the day brings, where I dont sit around feeling negative about life, and where I allow myself to feel close to God and grateful for my friends.

Good day means 'm above ground and still breathing! A really good day means I'm not depressed, pain allows me to be active. Some days just plain suck, but other days I have awesome energy, enthusiam and power.

But, here's the trick (for me, that is). I find something everyday to make me feel good, even if it's for a short time. The active intent to bring something into my life, or to be aware of it, is a good thing.

Nonightshades. I'm assuming your a guy - actually, I just looked at your profile - so yes, you're in the minority of RA patients, but why the "ummm, never mind?" A good day maybe is no erectile dysfunction? It happens. So what?. I don't want to put you on the spot, but I'd like to feel comfortable that you're not alluding to and leading anyone on to something sexist.

welp, i've been off all meds for over two weeks now - i stopped my mtx too because it wasn't making me feel better. my pain level has not increased at all, but my pain levels sucked on mtx anyway. i always have problems getting in bed, getting out of bed, rolling over in bed, sitting down or standing up (mostly standing up), stairs are a bit of a challenge to get started, but once i get started i'm good after the first three or four steps. showering is a bit of a trial but i do okay.

i've been trying to take a cat nap a day - maybe 20-40 minutes. it's been helping i think because i can't sleep for more than about 6 or 7 uninterrupted hours a night. i try to drink plenty of fluids and take all my supplements and eat a decently balanced diet.

Good points Sally. That "fog" is so difficult, one of the toughest things to deal with. Makes me feel like walking in my sleep & yes as much as I hate to say this makes me feel "stupid" at times.
Find it very very hard to deal with, right along with the all consuming exhaustion. These are the things that others do not get. Very hard to explain to others.
Such a misunderstood disease.
God bless those good days.

A good day for me is when I have used my walking stick to help me sit up and climb out of bed, walked to the bathroom with difficulty and then had a long and hot shower.to ease my aching joints.( Much as I would love to lie in a warm bath, I'd have difficulty getting into it and no way could I get out.)
But then it's a low pain day, I don't feel overtired and I'm looking forward to going out, even if it's just for a coffee or to do the grocery shopping. I can also enjoy talking to others, either on the phone or in person. I feel that I am in control, not the rotten RA.
I try to make the most of the good days, and yes, Sammy, here's to more good days for all our RAers.

when I do not sign on here to get support or give support

(sorry )

meaning when life's (joyful) attention signal is bigger than the attention signal of the RA

A good day for me is knowing God has given me life even with this terrible disease, I'm just grateful for the remaining health I do have, things are not so bad when you stop and think others may have it worse than you and I guess just having the insight to always look up and move on no matter what life brings your way....... that is what it means to me. As long as I'm moving I'm doing just fine!
