Always, you don't have to go through this alone! Whether it's or me or anyone else, we all know exactly what it's like to live with this wretched illness and what the day in and day out feels like. If you need anything, just ask! I know the time when first diagnosed can be overwhelming but just keep in mind everything with RA takes TIME. Time to find meds, time for the meds to work, time to see long term results, etc. etc. It can get discouraging but there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if it's temporary! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
