Larry:

So sorry to hear about your latest challenge! Having RA is just the pits,

even when you are functioning quite well with it.

It it were me, Larry, I would fight tooth and nail for those hands and do

all I could to make sure they work the bet they can for as long as they can.

Can you go to physical therapy? Get in a pool? Use very light weights to keep

the range of motion fluid in your wrists? Whatever it takes, man ...

whatever it takes. :-)

Love and Prayers,

Beth

Larry,

My hands were affected first by RA, before the rest of me. Why not try

Enbrel if your urologist gives his okay? It is working very well for

me. My hands are not swollen any more. It's almost as though I don't

have RA, except when it's getting close to the time of my injection.

Who knows, it might be the perfect medication for you. Sue

Dear Larry,

I am so sorry. Life isn't fair to begin with, not to count with RA. I have

never been blessed with the talents you describe and can only draw flowers &

smiley faces, so I cannot imagine the distress you must feel. I hope you

can take the Enbrel, it really helps me with everything, especially my energy

level and being able to tough-out what I really want to do. I will be praying

for you.

Sending you warm thoughts of healing energy to your hands,\ "
