HA I just used RAer in one of my blog posts a couple of days ago. I just typed it and went with it, I had no idea it really was an accepted term.
Terry
We will make it an accepted term! We are re-writing the dictionary!
May be sending a motorcyle-riding RA-er your way.
Excellent! Not many that ride with RA, we are few and far between.
Terry
I want to say – thank you for this!
I am a motorcycle riding Ra’er too
Rides are getting less though as flares take over. Yeah RA riders 
hahahaha…
i got one..
true story a woman related to me .. she went tosee her rheumatologist and there was a young girl there in a wheelchair. She asked the lady… “are you here to see the RUINOLOGIST”.. The woman said.. well.. yes… im here to see the rheumatolologist…. why do you call it that? The girl replies “Because everytime you see them, they RUIN your life” LOL so new word… ruinologist (aka rheumatologist)
I have a few of my own..
Break through RA – Similar to break through bleeding while on the pill. I’ve taken all my prescribed meds and will still have a flare. It can be even less fun, and just as messy.
Dr. Areyousure? – Occasionally the Dr I have been seeing for the last 5 years will ask me if I am sure that I have RA, and who diagnosed me.
Nurse Pokesalot – You know her, she can’t find a vein to save either of your lives. But she is happy to keep looking. One day, I think once a good vein is found I’m going to have a target tattooed on it that says stick here.

Funny ones. Thanks.

I have one for you…
Dr. Dumbologist (AKA the fired Rheumatologist):
The Dr. that tried to put me back on a RA treatment that is on my list of severe allergic reactions.
Funny name for a not-so-funny situation.
