I understood, after I was diagnosed, that I could no longer do a lot of the things I once did, or if I could do them just not at the same level of intensity. This has been the hardest on me always being active playing football, baseball, working out, racing my mountain bike and motorcycles. I have adapted, not felt sorry for myself and gone on being happy with what I can do from day to day.<br /><br />But, in my opinion, this is just an insulting statement to all RA patients. Just a marketing campaign designed by someone who does not suffer with RA day in and day out.<br /><br />By the way, Jamie is right. When I went to school, 20% was an F, not a success!Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575686459496908135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473014789900075186.post-20879152850037648612009-08-07T00:40:33.028-04:002009-08-07T00:40:33.028-04:00Why don't you know that I prayed every night f...Why don't you know that I prayed every night for 10 years, begging to have RA at this time in history!!!!!! Sarcasm intended, of course. What really floors me is that when there is a drug trial, if X amount of patients have 20% reduction in symptoms it is claimed as a successful drug for RA!!!??? Do what???? I know I want more than 20%, how about everyone else?? Excellent blog as always Kelly. Please take care of those fingers. Maybe a voice recognition program would be helpful for you even if you only use it when the fingers are at war with you!!

I can tell from reading your comments, etc that you are beautiful..inside and out. Yes, many people don't understand, but some do. Smile..MissDazey understands, so does Kelly. <br /><br />PS: To everyone..there are many days I don't understand it myself. heheMissDazeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016106662830199895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473014789900075186.post-77166102005018698492009-08-06T10:48:06.319-04:002009-08-06T10:48:06.319-04:00I agree with your whole post.

I am single and the biggest reason that I really don't want to "get out there" is that I know my disease is going to get worse, so why bother. Is this the best time in history to have RA? Maybe, but it would be nice to have a cure.Lexiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963718143796590144noreply@blogger.com
