   <p><inline-mention username="Kazzy13" user-id="4609777"/> thanks for your vulnerability. You certainly have endured a lot and continue to. It is frustrating when we know our bodies are off, but are sometimes brushed off by health care professionals. I am sorry that you experienced that. <br/>I am glad that you remained persistent, and continued to advocate for yourself. My nephew was diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was in his late twenties. Many surgeries, radiation, chemo, and experimental drugs. That in itself is a very trying and traumatic journey.<br/>Trauma can definitely be tied to Rheumatoid Arthritis, in the literatue. Trauma comes in many forms. <br/>Treatment for RA and many autoimmune disorders is very trial and error like you mentioned. However, I am hopeful you will eventually find the right one or combination.<br/>Absolutely, living in the moment and being grateful in that moment are very important. I love your positive and upbeat attitude. It means a lot when battling through life. <br/>I was diagnosed in my twenties, and honestly try to maintain that same positive perspective. I have attached an article link in a story, where I share a bit about my journey and walk with RA. <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></p>
