Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Hi, I just read your post and wanted to respond. I am 28, like , and have been married for 8 years. I am relatively newly diagnosed but from what my doctor has told me, children are definitely a possibility and with all the new drug combinations out there, living a relatively normal life is completely possible. Of course, the spouse of someone diagnosed with RA needs to be compassionate and willing to sacrifice time and energy to help when there are flare ups, but that could be said for many things. I'm also concerned that your fiance thinks that her lifespan might be shorter. RA is not a fatal disease... untreated it can be crippling but I hope she has a doctor she can talk to if she is scared about the possible effects. If you are in love with this girl then RA should definitely not stand in your way... good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
