Well... what is considered whining on here? Complaining? Telling your story of your RA journey?
I just thought this would help some folks out. I seem to keep reading posts where the original poster says their post is whining or complaining. I do not view them that way. I view them as telling their story of how RA has been treating them. Me too, Joonie, and it helps just to get it off your chest if nothing else. There is a lot to be said for venting, like a good cry, to deal with life. It helps to move forward, IMHO.
