Bless your heart, Rebecca. You are amazing with your optimism. Yes, the girls are fraternal twins. They are 5 now with a 3 yr old "menopausal" brother. I don't have any pictures of me with them except this old one. I also have 15 yr old and 12 yr old grandsons by our daughter. The little ones are our son's and precious daughter-in-law. Thanks for being interested. I really love your twins in your picture. Keep up those exercises, don't you think they make you feel better? Peace, Linda

because my RA is so severe it will take me a bit longer to get into remission. I know that I will never be perfect, but I do know that everyday is sometimes a bit better than the day before. And sometimes it's not like that. But I have learned to deal with this disease and no one is better in explaining the illness except the person who is living it. I do piliates every AM and PM and other excersizes. I treated myself for my 70th Birthday an iPhone from Apple and I ordered

Linda, I hope your doing well. You look so happy there with your two beautiful babies. How old are they, and what are their names? I have been exhausted the past few weeks, but it seems that the Actemra infusion for the RA is starting to relieve some of the joint pain. At least my knees are not that swollen and they don't have to be drained from the Sonovial fluid that usually builds up in mainly my knees. My ankles are not so good, but I do understand that I have a very serious condition and

Rebecca, This is Linda. I love your fluffy dogs. Are they Shih Tzus? You called me young, but I'm 65. My disease(s) like yours began in 1995. I kept asking my doctors what was wrong. No good answers. Until my hand specialist suggested fusing my fingers. I asked for more research and he sent me to the arthritis docs in 2008. I got the youngest and newest doc to the practice who was fresh out of his fellowship. He doesn't like me. Sorry to prattle. This friendship is new to me. Send me a note about yourself, please. God Bless, Linda

Hi Linda my name is Rebecca Z. So now you have a Rebecca Cox and I am the other Rebecca Z. I am so sorry to see such a young person suffering. I know what you feel like. I recently discovered that my RA was when I was 55 years old. But, it wasn't truly discovered until Jan 2008. It all started with my both feet in Sept 2004 when all of a sudden out of a clear blue sky, I was unable to walk. My both feet burned so bad it was like walking on a hot barbeque. My feet were roasted. I saw many doctors.
