I would love to email someone with RA at my age 38.

[Guest guest]

I have been diagnosed with RA 3 months ago. The medication I feel is

not working, and now I have more sites that have started to hurt. I

have 2 children and work a 40 hour week as a radiation therapist.

The job I have is very physical and this past week has been so hard on

me. I have bought shoes that were $160 a pair and it helps some, and

sometimes my feet are so swollen and are very painful it is hard to put

any shoes on and to even walk barefooted.

Does anyone have any suggestions about getting going in the mornings?

I have to be at work at 8am and it is so hard. But the weird thing is

by about noon I walk fine with very little limping. Now, this past

week has been horrible.

Please any insight, advice I will greatly appreciate.

thank you
