Thanks for these -- I've become preoccupied with using the web to find out as much as possible. I especially like forums like this.
One problem I'll mention is that, when you first read through people's Arthritis stories, it all seems so terrible it's really frightening. Pain, problems with medication, unsympathetic doctors, sleeplessness, poor mobility, no work etc. etc.
It's only when you read closely that you realise that people with Arthur have lives -- they're bringing up kids, meeting friends, holding down jobs, doing the garden, going on holiday, driving, walking, laughing, loving . . .
It's just that this side of life after Arthur gets drowned out by all the challenges the disease presents.
The web has been quite an eye-opener for me -- I often go damp eyed reading forum contributions -- not just out of fearful anticipation for myself; not just because of the suffering of others(though both of those things)
I also go damp eyed because of the courage, the humanity, the relentless drive to make the best possible life. Before, I never knew that existed. Thanks everyone.0 -

I do agree ones compassion and empathy are deepened and one sees on a much broader canvass from being in contact with others.
my own condition is osteo of the knees, and to some extent hips. maybe small of the back. so far I am less active but being too active causes it to flare up. taking diclofenic has been a life saver for me. one is humbled by how others conditions are so much worse than ones own. my own pain is diminished now but has on occasion been bad. one has to learn a balance and simply listen to ones own body.i was in dire need of learning this lesson, being a committed walker.
