I would read those blogs too & think well of course I can do that! This was during one of many of my denial phases- I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that I am disabled after always being the supermom & doing everything I set my mind to doing! Sure I’ve had flares & then I’ve gotten “better” until the past 8-9 months when the flare is unremitting & I haven’t gotten “better yet”. I think my denial phase is finally over & it’s even harder than when I was originally dx – No more supermom blogs etc for me! I’m relearning how to do simple tasks & thanks to finding Kelly’s site & the amazing women & men on here I can also help my sweet blessing of a daughter understand more- & that breaks my heart more than anything. I hate that she has to help me do things that I’ve always done for myself. ::tears:

Well i got kick out of that Kelly You cant keep up with yourself! lol…Good Job doing what you do..One thing at a time…Rest! Last night was so terrible for me. My daughter came home crying. Her little hand was so swollen! She asked me if her fingers were gonna stay like that? I said they would and she broke down in tears. My heart broke! She has went off her medicine to concieve thier 1st child! She didnt want to be taking anything trying to have thier first baby! Here comes the destruction she is willing to take for the sake of her baby! Why? Cant somebody help rid this disease so she wont hurt and cripple up trying to have a family? Tears from a mom……..

I enjoy reading other people’s story. It makes me feel like I am not alone. I share them with my husband and daughter. My husband reads all the stories and emails and is really starting to understand RA. Thanks Kelly and keep this awesome website going!

I’m pretty sure that the Google gods do not agree. But thanks for the smile.

Kelly,
When I type in “domestic goddesses, computer wizards and supermoms” in my picture dictionary your picture comes up.

Thanks Cynthia. I just think like a mom, I guess. It just seems to me that is foundational – After that, the other things fall into place, like honesty & the golden rule… :rainbow:
