I have tackled some heavy topics on my blog, mostly related to rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and others related to my personal life. All I know is that one day, I woke up and my life had changed. When I was first diagnosed, I thought that all my dreams were gone and that my life would never be normal again. I remember a time when I had very few answers to my many questions. So many of you have emailed me about questions you have that I have answered and I have touched on so many topics that are either taboo or just difficult to express or describe. I am happy to answer questions and address taboo and difficult topics because I remember a time when I didn’t have any answers so I do know what that uncertainty is like.
If you have an RA or Fibro question, please email me at livingit-lovingit@live.com and I am very happy to answer your questions and address topics that are relevant to you.
Here is a list of links on various topics related to RA and fibro that I addressed. Again, feel free to email me if you have any ideas or questions of your own.
