I was wandering how people cope with RA? It is getting harder and harder to cope with.
Hi there
I tend to be really positive about my RA, take my Diclofenic whenever I have a flare up and just admit it when i’m feeling a bit sore. I think I cope ok although although when my shoulder is playing up i’m a right grump!
Its something i’ve come to accept and think of people out there with far worse conditions.

Shoulders are the worst, aren’t they.
I used to cope very well, but lately I’ve been flaring so much, I just can’t stand it. I get depressed that I have to deal with this and I feel guilty that I miss a lot of work. My boss never says anything, but there is always this fear that I’m going to get fired.
Then, when I’m not flaring, I always think there’s nothing wrong with me!
