Hi @Jaynesom
Welcome to the versus arthritis forum.
You’ve had RA for many years but in more recent times it’s begun to have a more significant impact. It sounds like those around you don’t fully appreciate the debilitating effect arthritis can have.
Well you won’t find that’s the case here, the forum members are a very friendly lot who, having lived with arthritis themselves, fully appreciate the effect that it has and are able to relate to the impact it can have upon your wellbeing.
Here are a couple of links to articles on our web site that may be useful to you:
Please do have a look around the rest of the community and see if there are any tips for you, maybe in the Living in Arthritis area.
I hope you find joining the forum beneficial in helping with your own situation.
Best Wishes
