Hello from new member

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I'm and I'm a new member. I was diagnosed with RA about 4 years

ago. (I also have a heart condition - hypertrophic cardiomyopathy -

also diagnosed 4 years ago.) I'm glad I found this group because I

have been feeling isolated. It will be nice to make friends here

online - I need a sense of community.

My RA symptoms vary in kind and degree. Unfortunately I do not have a

very " enlightened " boss so on top of my physical pain and discomfort I

have to deal with his skepticism and insensitivity, to say the least.

He's a professor at a university - you'd think he'd be educated!

I'm also having trouble with daily chores - I live alone, and

sometimes the basic maintenance of life is daunting.

I'd like to hear from other people how they cope with work - and

housework. And I'd also like to extend my support to those of you in

this group.

Thanks,
