Comment on Living with AutoImmune Diseases by Shelley.
I was diagnosed with Auto Immune disease 3 years ago, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (And no, this ani’t your grandma’s creaky bone arthritis.) It a mean and painful disease, with other symptoms than joint pain. When I tell people I have RA, it’s so dismissed, that I have stopped telling people I’m even sick.
I too feel like the doctors are still missing something though. I have other symptoms that doctors just shrug off, but I know they are real, and not easy to live with. As a working mom of three boys, some days seem unbearably. I have a very small group of support, but those people are the ones who keep me moving forward. Without the support of my husband, I know for fact I would be where I am today. Thank you for the words of encouragement, and yes, you are blessed. 🙂
