"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!!!

"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!!

"Hello to everyone at the RA group! I hope you are having good days starting this year. Have you checked the Healthline blog contest? RA Warrior, one of the best RA blogs, is SECOND PLACE! We all have had to deal with absolute lack of understanding of our disease from people around us. Making it second place is a right step to increase awareness. And with your help we can make it first place. It is your chance to do something! We can achieve things if we come together. You can vote once a day until Feb 15th. Here is the link

"So it's April 1st, but RA is no joke. I hope that Spring will bring you a renewed sense of well being, less pain, and the love and support of family and friends. Be well and remember , what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, standing taller in the end..."

"A hug to all our RA Warriors who bravely live life, day by day, surviving the small and bid difficulties in our path. A special hug this month to those who, besides RA, are juggling with parenting, a career, home management and a personal life. Handling so much is hard for healthy people, and somehow all of you, with RA, make it work. You are heroes!!!"
