I have had RA since I was 36 and I still struggle with the amount of pain I have.

I use pain patches and those hot stick on patches. I have 2 grown up daughters.

I amnow 74 and I am still carrying on as you have to live with it or you can

get very depressed. I have had elbow replcement and bones removed from

my feet. ( big problem walking even after the operation) makes me wish I never had it

done. I still cook, clear,bake and try to do gardening. I am the point where I

have accepted my lot in life. But life is for living so my idea is get on with it.
