      I wanted to thank you and Pamela for this interview. I got my own RA diagnosis a couple of years ago at age 30 and *I* was too young for it. Pamela’s courage and spirit have really given me heart. And her wisdom is way beyond her years.

      Pamela, I want to tell you that you should not give up on your dreams — you just need to find creative ways of following through with them and know when it’s time to rest. Even with RA, I have continued to crochet and design dolls and toys. It takes me longer to finish a project because I need to rest my hands, but by making smaller items (dolls instead of afghans), I can still get the joy of finishing a project.

      Good luck to you and all the best!
      Karla

      Pamela is at truly amazing girl! She absolutely teared me up. I had already lived most of my life, college, marriage, children when I received my diagnosis. She is truly an amazing soul. Pamela – do not give up and don’t let RA stop you. Hug Left Hug Right

      Pamela and Kelly, you are both brave RA warriors that inspire all of us.

    6. Pamela, thank you so very much for having the courage to speak out about your RA, share your story and even start your own blog. Over time you will learn more and more about your RA and how to listen to your body and predict the day. When that happens you feel a bit more in control and relaxed but still, RA is a roller coaster of life! Best of luck!!
