A Fierce Sunshine: Opportunity in Illness
http://www.afiercesunshine.com/2012/07/opportunity-in-illness.html
Blazing a path through life with RA. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Pain, loss of mobility. Loss of a friend. This was my timeline of pain at the onset of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Blazing a path through life with RA. Thursday, July 14, 2011. February lost me in a fog. My emotional roulette wheel was spinning, and its favorite emotion was denial. Oh goody, you have more unsolicited advice for me? Great I'm going to go crawl under this rock over here. Another book, website? Awesome, I love being terrified. I'll just lose that sticky note. Now please excuse me while I go back to my hidey hole. That was it. I deleted his number off my phone, unfriended him on Facebook. By this...Well,...

http://www.afiercesunshine.com/2012/04/etiquette-of-ra.html
Blazing a path through life with RA. Monday, April 2, 2012. The Etiquette of RA. Is none of her business . Nor is it her business to inform me her viewpoint of what works, what doesn't, and if the martini offered is poison or not.
