If while waiting for a table in a busy restaurant, you go to the bathroom just so you can sit down and rest.
If you choose restaurants by whether they serve anything you don't have to have cut up for you. I LOVE chicken and steak fingers.
If, while camping, you get stuck in a bathroom stall that is so small your knees touch the door when you sit on the toilet and you can't get up because you need to rock forward. (Had to wait for my husband to come looking for me, happened at Baker Lake, Washington)

If you work in a building that is so cold that when you go to the bathroom, you run the hand dryer long enough to put all your joints under it to warm them, including your hips

We have a very small camper with a very tall pottie. I couldn't live without it!

You know you have RA when you see another poor soul with twisted fingers or that ever so familiar limp and you just have an overwhelming desire to cry and hug them! I hate RA!

U might have RA if...

... You have begged and pleaded (out loud) with inanimate objects: "please, please turn, don't do this to me today, no, no I beg you don't roll under couch... aw man!"

.... You drove for 35 mins to nearest flu shot clinic on the first day the H1N1 shot was available and got both shots.... You were the youngest person in the line at the flu clinic.

.... You are on a Biologic treatment and feel the need to post a notice on the door of your retail store to keep the hoards of sick people from coming in and coughing thier germs all over you. They can come back when they're not sick (the sign says that too)... screw making the sale. How would they know they're putting my life at risk... I don't look sick!

... You've rolled up beach towels and put them at the foot of your bed, under the covers to keep the weight of the blankets from touching your toes. Ouch! Who knew toes could be so sensative.

... You've actually considered liposuction on your upper arms merely to reduce the weight pulling down on your shoulders... man those shoulders are murder!

.... You've 'sacrificed' a towel in your bathroom to the RA gods. Both shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers not working well enough to wipe... but the towel was long enough to get a grip on both ends.... and well you get the idea. LOL.

... Your Rhuemy is so concerned about your well being that he calls you on a Saturday morning less than 12 hours after blood work being done to tell you that your liver tests are up and to quit taking your Arava. A specialist... working on a saturday! That's dedication... only a Rhuemy would do that!

.... You can spell the generic full chemical names of more than a dozen medications off the top of your head.

... You want a new scooter for Christmas! With a cool paint job!
