I hope this post finds each of you doing well considering what we are all going through at this time. I know this is a very trying and difficult time for those of us with RA or any other auto immune and along with the average person because our lives have been turned upside down. You see this has been one of the most difficult times I have seen in quite a while for many reasons.

While I have found that my anxiety has been truly high I have not dealt well with it on some occasions but I have found comfort in working in the yard as best I can which has caused issues with my RA. I find myself hurting more but it keeps my mind off of being shut up in the house and being afraid to go out. Getting out in the yard has been my saving grace along with prayer and reading my bible. I tell you if it weren’t for those things, my mind would be everywhere. I suffer along with the aches and pains because it gives me something else to think about and let me know that there is still some normalcy which is my RA. Sad to say but it is the truth. Umm for reality.

I guess a lot of us having Rheumatoid Arthritis finds it extra stressful because of our immune system due to our disease and our medication taking its toll and we’re worrying even more about our safety. Wondering if that trip to the store, pharmacy or doctor is a safe one. I know for me most of my appointments were canceled. I guess those that weren’t essential which I found to be okay because if they thought it was safer not to do it, then I had no problem either. I’ve finally just started venturing out a little bit and that’s only if the parking lots are almost empty and the stores are scarce. I don’t mean to be so paranoid but it is a very scary time for us all. Some people are braver than others I must say though but I hope and pray this will all end for us soon.

One last thing, I haven’t had the best of luck getting my medication, hydroxychloroquine because of what’s going on but I hope that works itself out soon but I’m sure I’m not the only one. I just hope this works out for everyone however it is suppose too. I will be trying again later this week to get my refill and see what happens at that time. In the meantime, I hope since my last post everyone is doing well and keeping safe as well as your families. I hope your RA isn’t getting the best of you in this difficult time when you might need care the most. Thanks for stopping by.

Be Blessed!
