| A little about me: | I was a realtor for YEARS until I handed my license back to the state in 2007. I tried to paint to make up for the lack of income....but my illness became worse. I finally saw a doctor March 6,2008..and he immediately found RA....It had been years since my blood was drawn...I never wanted to go in....I have always maintained a fine diet, exercised...5'4", now 147 lbs., and pretended I could handle whatever it was over the counter. Yes, I am in constant pain, sweats, fatigue, blurry mind, but I am fighting...and just turned 60. Yeehaw!!!! |

My Hugs
 | Hello dear ones! As Paulette said, it is time for another group hug :) An it is time to swing it out of the park too. Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior is close to winning the Best Health Blog Contest. We were number one for some hours, which proves we can actually achieve this. Rheumatoid disease is simply NOT understood. Period. It is not talked about. It is not acknowledged. We are invisible. It is time not to be invisible anymore. Haven't you felt, many times, you don't have a voice, or your voice can't be heard? This is a chance to MAKE your voice heard. Please continue to vote, once daily, until Feb 15th. We are RA Warriors!!! http://www.healthline.com/health/best-health-blogs-contest |
| Good morning. I wanted to remind you to vote for the RA Warrior blog. We are now 400+ points behind first place, and we only have one week to do this!! Aren't you sick and tired of people not knowing what RA is, and saying things to you like "oh my grandmother had that in her finger", or "but you don't look sick", or "take some advil", or "its not that bad, its only arthritis", or "take a hot bath, you'll feel better"?? Wouldn't you like to shout to the world "Its RA, and here's what you need to know about it"? Wouldn't you like RA to get as much research money poured into it as diabetes, autism, and a host of other chronic diseases? YES? Then get on this site and vote! If you don't have facebook or twitter I'm sure you have friends that do, so ask them to get on and vote FOR you! I simply cannot stress how vitally important this could ultimately be to the future of RA treatment, publicity, and our health!!! So don't stand on the sidelines. Get involved and help us... help yourself!! http://www.healthline.com/health/best-health-blogs-contest |
| Just a reminder to all vote for the RA Warrior. We are a bit behind Breast Cancer, but if everyone voted once a day until the 15th, we would win! Here is the site: http://www.healthline.com/health/best-health-blogs-contest Thanks and I'm sending healing thoughts and prayers to all. |

My Diary
Kathy's Diary - Friendswood
Beginning today..2/12/09..I stretched, lifted 3-5 lb wts, rode nordic-cycle 5 minutes slow for a period of 15 minutes. My neck and back are biggest pain area. Ears ringing, throat tight but not
particularly painful. Fatigued..painted about 7 minutes, washed dishes...one load of laundry...thank God I can type.
Today is 2/21/08.....Yesterday and today have not been really bad
days....the pain is in my hip joints...the farthur away it is from
my brain...the clearer my mind, and I don't feel nearly as vulnerable to the world, and I feel so FREE.
