Interview form, recollection of having children, medical training pressures and RA diagnosis and just the challenges of being female, clock ticking, RA and medical training. It’s long but worth listening to how despite all that, crying when she could not lift her baby out of the cot because of RA, and wanting to overcome it. If you want to fast forward go to the 12:00 minute mark… from when she recalls her first traces of symptoms, we should all be able to identify those first moments… before getting diagnosed with RA

    @noddingtonpete It was. There is a similar story by a practicing doctor psychiatrist and how she got past her Lupus. Dr Brooke Goldner. Everyone I know who has entered drug & symptom free “remission” including myself have been through virtually the same tedious process with a few variations and post remission cautions. I had 2 glorious years of freedom from RA & MTX. Now I know my RA trigger is raw soy protein, a known trigger.
