RA and your social life

Have your RA symptoms ever had an impact on your social life? Due to the often unpredictable nature of RA, many people find that being fatigued or having a flare-up, or even the fear of having a flare-up, holds them back from having the social life they want. Many try to cope with RA's unpredictability by setting boundaries and limits on activity, which can come with guilt.
