Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi , Thanks for introducing yourself, it's nice to 'meet' you. I can tell by your words of support that you're quite a remarkable young lady. I always stress to Cameron that he is a very special person, with many talents and gifts, who happens to have arthritis. Your story is testimony to that fact--your challenges are greater than most, but it sounds like you don't let the disease define you. Thank you for taking the time to write. Cameron says you're the real trooper, not him! Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 hi christine, tell cameron he made me smile! no, i dont let this jra define my life. it helped make me who i am, but it is not who i am. i think everyone has to go thru certain amounts of hardship in their life, jra just happens to be a part of mine. there are worse things. i firmly believe that someone up there allowed this to be a part of my life for a reason, only in my best interest. thats all i need to know, and if something comes along that i cant handle....then he'll do it cuz i will tell him i cant do this one...here, you take this one and trust it will turn out for the best in the end. thats how i make it and how i have done so much better than anyone expected. my docs think its because i just dont realize just how bad my joints are, but they are wrong. jra is just a road block, so i will find a way around it, over it, under it, or if i have to....just run it over. either way, its not keeping me down for long. cameron can do the same, he must be incredible to be his age and doing well with all those road blocks. i hope he knows he is already a man in his own right. thanks and anytime, brandy _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My group had been planning this for 3 years. I never did get to Ireland, but that's OK. Thank you for your kind words. I'm not facing surgery right now, thank goodness. Hi Marjory, Right, not far from Cork really. I was working in a place called Leixlip until 2.5 years ago, but that is quite a distance away, in Co Kildare. Actually it was only a 30min drive from Dublin. I was down at Cork during that time visiting an old friend. Pity you didn't get there. You would have probably enjoyed it the Irish people are so friendly. That's good that you don't have to worry about surgery just now. I hope you are feeling well today............................what am I saying! I wish you could be feeling great every day! lol Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 I printed two research items that you posted to take to my rheumatologist in a few weeks. I believe they will be helpful to our discussion about my treatment plan. I truly appreciate your taking the time to help! Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
