Life is a mystery

Hi everyone,
I am 49 years old. I was officially diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren's in August 2011. May 2016 I added osteoporosis to my list. I work full-time, married to the most wonderful man for 30 years, 2 children and 3 grandchildren. I love to read advice that any of you can give me. I don't mean to sound rude but I don't like to read any depressing or negative posts. It can be hard to stay upbeat as it is (having diseases). I know some of you have worse diseases, symptoms and/or living situation. I don't want to be in competition for who has it worse in life and health. I just want friends who can give good advice and keep each other positive. Thanks for reading my story.
