First Things First

Let me start off with a few things:


  • I haven't had an English class since 2004. I was hesitant to start this blog because of that. I know my writing is not terrible and getting the point across about Rheumatoid Disease is more important to me.
  • I will be calling it Rheumatoid Disease. That is not the proper name. It is Rheumatoid Arthritis but from what I've learned the "arthritis" is just one side effect. It is a disease.
  • I would write privately but I can't hold a pen very well. Plus, the awareness is important to me. I'm not going to be able to share anything privately.
  • I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm also not doing this for attention. I'm going to be honest. I'm going to talk about my personal highs and lows. I'm simply spreading awareness and, at times, clearing my own thoughts. I'll vent. I'll cry. I may share things that are hard for certain people to read but well, this disease is hard.
  • I'm not a doctor. I'm not going to be giving medical advice. I'll share my story. If you have your own thoughts or questions I will answer with my thoughts. However, I always suggest you ask your own doctor.
With that out of the way.... let's get started. :)
