Do you hurt so much you wonder if it’s possible for pain to actually last this long and be this relenting, powerful and debilitating. Â Well this is what having Rheumatoid Arthritis does to its victims. Â That’s right, victims. Â Anything that hurt someone as much, as often and as long means we are its victims.

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis a disease many really don’t know
It is harsh, it can be deadly, what a horrifying blow,
And it brings uncertainty, grief and so much loneliness
But we can’t forget about some of our biggest tests,
There’s depression, sorrow and the ongoing misunderstanding
That this is a disease that is so demanding,
Yes, disease I know that may surprise you
It is a very serious condition, this is true,
Pain is a constant and the fatigue just won’t go away
It’s in our lives each and every day,
We strive to make it with all that we’re going through
But many will still ask “What’s wrong with you”,
Life with RA can’t be explained in simple words
So it’s not getting the attention we feel it deserves,
Are we seeking attention, pity or any of this
No, not at all, our lives are not worth the risk,
The bottom line, Rheumatoid Arthritis is a horrendous disease
One that affects us all, more than anyone sees!
Be Blessed.
How does Rheumatoid Arthritis affects your life and your fight to maintain. Do you feel weak when in reality the battle we fight makes us strong. You are strong in your weakest moments.
Are you filled with guilt! Guilt because you aren’t who you use to be emotionally nor how you were physically. The guilt takes over because your functions have become limited and doing things aren’t as easy as it use to be if at all possible so being unable too sends you down a road filled with guilt that’s long and hard. Guilty because you are faced with feelings of letting your family down even though it’s out of your control. The constant pain we’re in keeps us locked in a world controlled by Rheumatoid Arthritis. It dictates what our days are to be. We often feel or want things to be our way but this disease has other ideas. We try our best to fight our way through the pain but the majority of the time, RA wins. It is true we may fight through but in the end, RA is the true winner.

Giving up is not who I am. I will stay the course, and persist until I succeed." ~ Les Brown
