Live Bold Live Now Update

Almost exactly a year ago, HealthCentral released a series of immersive multimedia stories, featuring people living with different conditions. The rheumatoid arthritis story "starred" me.

 This week, I'm proud to present the update to the Live Bold Live Now story, featuring myself and my buddy Brad Carlson talking about how we've created a life with RA. 

The last year has seen many changes for me, chief among them discovering that I keep getting better at  a level I never imagined would happen, having the ability to travel farther than I have in the last 10 years. Another wonderful addition to my life is working with Show Us Your Hands! and the exciting new direction we've launched earlier this week.

 To watch the update, hop on over to the Live Bold Live Now RA page on HealthCentral. I'm really pleased with it and hope you'll like it, too.

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. My new slideshow for HealthCentral collects 13 things you need to know as an RA newbie : "Receiving a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a moment of strange duality.
