What if feeling good for me right now is only temporary? <br /><br />I'm glad you went swimming. It made me smile. I'm going to keep that image in my mind today. We are stronger than RA.

Having been diagnosed two years ago and doing well on MTX monotherapy, I am reminded now and then, when a joint flares or when I go for my bi-monthly labs, that I might be in "clinical" remission, but that I am definitely not in full remission. Although my limitations are minor compared to most RA sufferers (can't make a tight fist and can no longer do six-hour walks on European cobblestone streets), I am still having a hard time dealing with this new me, let alone accepting it. Reading how people, who have had this disease much longer than I have, deal with it, brings comfort and perspective. And I hope that you, too, will find that miracle drug/drug combination that works for you. Best wishes!Giselahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107885695420040891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258065897014734218.post-18909700690421895242011-07-11T10:02:22.112-04:002011-07-11T10:02:22.112-04:00Hi Nan,

What a great team you two must be together! <br /><br />RA does have a mind of its own, that's for sure. (It's reminding me today, loud and clear!) Thank goodness we have the power of our own mind and to have hope. Hope is something that RA cannot take away.<br /><br />Your zumba class sounds wonderful, as does swimming. Thanks again!<br /><br />TWRAThrive With RAhttp://www.thrivewithra.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258065897014734218.post-23812549588787604782011-07-11T06:06:57.540-04:002011-07-11T06:06:57.540-04:00Nan...(((HUGS))).

It is just a question of when we get to this point. This is one long journey and I just know that once again the sun will shine on your path, you will find your way...I just know you will.deb aka murphthesurfhttp://abcsofra.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258065897014734218.post-44166792456185657912011-07-10T23:01:12.982-04:002011-07-10T23:01:12.982-04:00Nan, I am really grateful that you wrote about thi...Nan, I am really grateful that you wrote about this. I am still grappling with the never-ending-ness of RA. After months of being on prednisone, I am finding that I can't get any lower as the methotextrate doesn't seem to be working yet--and I wonder if it will start working?<br /><br />I am new to all this, but you help me to realize that my struggles are not atypical, so I do not feel so alone. I'm glad your husband is so supportive and that you could actually talk about how you're feeling. (I don't do that well yet). Swimming is good!!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061517211101084120noreply@blogger.com
