I have written to Sawyinup,Jacobirose ,& Lady67 today.  Hope my messages got through.  Also talked about RA.  Sacats22

lady67: my rheumatoid arthritis was controlled but isn't now.  I have quite a bit of stiffness,pain,& fatigue.  I see my rheumy on Mch 28 & I think he can get control of it with a biologic.  But they are really expensive. He's talked to me about Enbrel & Humira.  I can get 4 mos. of Enbrel free but after that it has co-payment of $350. a mo which is pretty stiff.  Are you on a biologic?  Which one?  How much is it?  I'm glad you can play the piano even though you have some deformity in one of your hands.  Sounds like your are getting along pretty well with your RA especially since you've had it for 10 yrs.  Gives me hope since I've only had for 2 years.  Nice talking with you.

Iv'e been retired for several years.  I love cats.  I have 2 & 78 pictures or figurines of them.  I volunteer  as a reading teacher.  I attend a Disciples of Christ  Church where I am very active.  I am a deacon and currently working on a pictorial member directory.  I paint in oils {not recently} and currently water colors.  I like my computer and enjoy emails.  Iv'e had rheumatoid arthritis for 2 years which is definately not fun.  I enjoy eating out and shopping.  Day trips on 2 lane roads where I can sightsee.  That's pretty much it for an introduction.
