Those of us who have followed you for a while remember this time and the strength it took to not only follow your own independent path, but make the transition to a pharmaceutical-based treatment plan. I've always admired you for both choices. I remind people that RA is personal and so should the treatments they choose. Thank you, as always, for opening your heart and sharing this story.

ReplyDeleteI understand I do not know it all, but I know enough to get good advice. After that I will decide how to proceed. That is why you are such a good friend. You do as well, nothing beats a friend who thinks.
