Painless Meme for Rheum mates

   

Kelly over at RA Warrior came up with a meme about what defines us. Have you done it yet?

Here are my answers:

What is one thing that defines who you are, regardless of RA? My faith that change is possible.

What’s one food you know they must have in heaven? Ris a la mande. Danish Christmas dessert.

Name a song that takes you to a happy place? Ode to Joy.

What’s your favorite city and why? Toronto. Multicultural, considerate, has everything you want, including nature in the middle of the city.

Name 1 thing that you have learned by living with Rheumatoid disease? Resilience.

What medication has helped you the most with RA symptoms? The least? Most: Biologics - my personal miracle. Least - everything else.

What do you most wish health care professionals understood about RA? That it affects all of your life, not just your body.

What is something about you that would probably surprise most people? That I'm a sap.

What is something about you that would probably surprise most people about your RA? That if given the chance to do everything over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

What is something that you want to be remembered for? Being a good friend.

Children with these symptoms may have been diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or other types of juvenile arthritis . But do they actually have JIA or do they have Farber’s disease? An equine digression When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras. This is an adage in the medical world that encourages doctors to not wander off exploring rare and esoteric reasons for a patient’s symptoms. Because most of the time, that hoof beat of a rash likely isn’t the plague, the joint pain more likely a type of arthritis than the bends (especially if the person has never scuba dived) and you get the picture. But once in a while, it actually is a zebra. And even if it’s first identified as a horse, eventually, the stripes come through. It took five years of my parents running around to different doctors before one finally recognized that I had

Getting a diagnosis of any type of chronic illness can throw you for loop. There is so much to know and you have so little energy.
