Orencia

[Guest guest]

Shirley and the rest of the group,

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I am new to this group and I

apologize for starting out by ranting yesterday. The letters I have read have

been an comfort and support knowing that others are going through situations and

problems i have had.

 

RA has been a curse and a blessing to me. I had to leave after 18 years from a

job I loved. It took two long years of barely living before I was approved for

disability. However, I went back to school and graduated last year with a degree

in Elementary Education. I was given more free time to spend in my church and

teach Sunday school and become a deacon.

 

Thanks to all for sharing your lives. RA seems to make a person reflect on the

life that is left them after determining how to deal with that days pain or how

long before it starts again.

 

P.S. I am restarting my Orencia infusions tomorrow after stopping for four

months. I look forward to gaining some mobility.

 

Thanks again

Don
