Subject: Whats your philosophy on life with RA?

Accept and adjust? Or Deny and fight? I think I can do none of those things. Iv'e heard advice saying; one should not 'own' the illness. That's just denial. I wouldn't think of it as 'my' illness anyway. But it is a part of me, whether I like it or not. Accepting it is a daily task. I fight it, I fight the fatigue daily. I can adjust my life. I can pursue different hobbies etc. I want my old me back. Tuff luck. I was never still, always on some mobile activity. So I'm a new woman. I have given myself a new name too. They say there is no such word as 'can't'. There is for some of us eh! But after getting these thoughts down and out, I see that I can do some of the things I mentioned at the beginning after all. I didn't metion spelling though did I! Ha Ha. Share your thoughts with me, I'd love to hear from all of you. Toodle pip. Ta ra. See you later. Bye. < funny I know.L8RS. lol.
