Introduction

[Guest guest]

My name is . I live in Houston, Texas and am raising 5

children. my R.A. onset in 1991, so I have been 'coping' for 14 years

and I can think of a lot of things that I would rather be doing. I am

currently in a huge flare and naturally R.A. is foremost in my mind,

when I am not in a flare, I completely forget that I have it and just

tell myself that it is old age (I will be 40 this year).

I was feeling so great a month ago, I really pushed myself to the

limits, driving hundreds of miles a day, working on the computer, and

chasing children over the snowy countryside. now I am fighting a

little cold and heavens to mercatroid, you would think that I had a

life threatening illness, I am so drained.

I am a professional photographer on my good days and I love to take

pictures. I also do some family history, some sewing, some baking, and

some home schooling, interior remodeling, and travel. I really want

to see and do it all before I go. this condition however really does

get in the way of that!
