Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 What are the greatest treasures. What are our priorities? Being able to Breathe, to Move, to Eat, to Sleep. Medication, sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. When you first get this you have to make a choice. Quality or Quantity. Do nothing and let the disease eat away at you and end your life prematurely Or fight for quality of life. Take every therapy, every new drug, when your body builds up an immunity. I chose to fight. But I am very very tired. It is not acceptable to me that the "Theft" of my healthy body, of time, and of quality of life should be allowed to preside. I will steal each good moment and accept with grace every bad one. I did not have a choice when I got RA. When I can sink into unconsciousness and flee my body and my mind is sometimes the only escape I have, but it is something. A gift. Even that. A gift. You are all an inspiration to me. I wish you all a good day today. Yours, Debbie in Maine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
