I am in Remission. Do I Still Belong in the RA Community?

In my HealthCentral post, I am in Remission, Do I Still Belong in the RA Community? I share some of the questions I have struggled with as my RA has gotten better.

  • Do I still belong?
  • Is it unkind to share my good days?
  • Where's the support when you improve?
  • Can I be an advocate when I am not in pain?
  • If my meds stop working, will I still have support?

  1. Do I still belong? Yes of course

    Is it unkind to share my good days? I hope not.

    Where's the support when you improve? It has to be self manifested.

    Can I be an advocate when I am not in pain? You bet you can carry the water when others cannot. Someday we will carry it for you, I promise.

    If my meds stop working, will I still have support? Maybe more we live in a great time.

  3. You absolutely still belong. You are an inspiration to others who aspire to be in remission. And remission can be fleeting, and the RA community is here to help when remission fails.
