Hmmm...I'm 46, a newlywed, work full time...

Sorry for everyone who thinks this is ageism, but I

think it is a good idea to have a group where a

certain age group full of people who have some things

in common could go. For example, I'm 24 years old and

having a rather hard time finding people around my age

with RA. I'm sorry, but sometimes I cannot relate to

some people who are older with the disease. I don't

think there's anything wrong with wanting to associate

with, not only others with the disease, but others

with the disease who are close in age to you. Being at

different stages in our lives we experience different

things. I'm a newlywed, work fulltime and have no

children. I would venture to say that is a little

different than a 40 yr. old. So, while I'm on the

topic, if there ARE any 20-30 somethings out there

with RA, please contact me!! I am desperate to find

people in my age bracket with this disease. We are so

young to be experiencing this, that it is probably a

little different for us.

In conclusion, this is not agesim. Thank you!
