Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Re: [ ] new member Welcome, Lynn. This is a great group. You will get a lot of understanding and support here. And our moderators, a and , do a wonderful job of educating us about RA and other autoimmune diseases. If you work full time, I can understand that that takes all of your energy. Does your husband help out at all? If not, you should recruit him to do some of the house cleaning. Your daughter is old enough to start helping, too, with small chores. And when you do clean, take it a little at a time, small steps. The house does not have to be spic and span all the time. Good luck and hang in there.
