  My life has become one giant guessing game. Can I open my pills today? Can I grasp things today? Am I going to take a surprise nap today? Everyday is one big experiment. Things that hurt one day don't bother me the next. I never thought my body could betray me so much. I try so much to focus on the positives of the day, some days the positive is simply that the day is over.

  While my symptoms seem to be under control at least for now I feel more alone than ever. My my husband is acting like everything is fine and normal. Outside of our conversation where I told him what the dr said we haven't talked about it.  I have have so many questions and so many feelings about this and I feel like I have no one to talk to about it. So I'm left searching the internet for information and support.

  I was recently diagnosed. I have more questions than I do minutes in a day. The nagging question I have right now is do you tell people? When do you tell people? I'm worried people will think I'm looking for attention. I was thinking about getting an awareness ribbon. How soon is is too soon to wear an awareness ribbon?  Thanks!

  Im a little confused and I'm hoping someone here can help. I was diagnosed with RA yesterday. The Rheumatologist said RA doesn't affect the joint closest to the tip of the finger. Online it says it can affect any joint.I have a lot of pain in this joint. Does anyone else? Is it possible I got a wrong diagnosis?

  my life definitely isn't where I thought it would be at 36. I'm on my second marriage, hate my job, I'm over weight and now I have been diagnosed with RA. I have more questions than I do minutes in the day. I have managed to stay strong and not break down yet even though I know it's coming. While I know this isn't a death sentence it is hard to deal with. Knowing that I don't know what's coming is the scariest part. This affects everyone differently. I know two people who have it and they are...
