When you do get there the first thing that runs through your mind as you try to open the child proof cap is " I could just take 40 of them and things would feel better I'm sure" the only thing that stops you is your second thought, the one of a sweet 10 year old child playing in his room upstairs. Their laughter helps too. Naomy,44 years old ,Sero Neg JRA. anyone else every been in to much pain to get off the couch and go to the kitchen for an asprin {nobody right}?

So, when I see that sun I run for it (well, OK saunter) and absorb as much as I can. I also have favorite parks to go to when the weather cooperates. I like to watch a good silly show too when I can't get out. And art is a very good way to soothe the soul. Either by going to a museum or making it. No one has to judge what you may paint or draw or photograph, its for you. God bless. I work nights and live in a very rainy area.

I can't do yoga but I do a lot of deep breathing. It helps increase my pain tolerance. Betty, I’ve been to counselors and I have to say that I also get more help from others with RA!

I think that the support and empathy I get there helps tremendously! I also do Yoga Nidra. Which is basically a fancy name for progressive relaxion. It helps get the "kinks" out and relaxes sore muscles at the end of the day. Thank you so much for your site and FB page. I'm sure they are lifesavers for alot of us. God Bless.

It is where I feel understood, not judged, and where I am lifted up by others who are going through the same thing. I feel guilty alot because I cannot participate in life as much as I would like to and be a support to my family instead of having to be supported. And I do look forward to heaven where there will be no pain and where I will be totally known and understood. Prayer and meditation is the best pain medicine for me. God bless you all.
