As if there's one magic pill and we'll be pain free and able to resume our old lives and be happy digging in our gardens. But it is true, I had NO idea what RA was before I got it, wouldn't have been able to comprehend it all unless I had it or knew someone who had it. So I can't blame people. Although it is very frustrating and hurtful when I explain how bad it is and they still treat is as something minor. My life is completely changed, forever, as is my family's to a large extent, and I have to live with the pain and the limitations every single day. Sigh, I'll be glad - and not so depressed and bitchy:) - when I can start my Enbrel again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
