pictures of myself. I came across one that my hubby took from when we went to the beach with in-laws after Christmas. Well... I just cannot stand to look at pictures of myself. I can see all the things that are wrong with my body do to RA.
Can ya'll see what I am seeing?
Joonie, I wish I looked that good! Joonie you look great!
Hi Guys. Thanks for the support and replies.
I was refering to how my arms are at rest and still look like my arms are bent. And how my head leans to the right. And if it was a side view of me you would see how I am leaned forward. I seen another picture from a side view
I was just kinda outta sorts about how I look it pictures. The moon face from pred, the extra 50 pounds, the body parts that do not extend like normie's, and how I remember how painful it was to walk to the beach to see the ocean up close. Walking on sand is not the easiest task when you are flaring
Next time send a closer picture. Thanks

Of course you always want to look your best, but thats what marriage is all about...growing old together... I worry about my weight and the way I look, but my husband always tells me I look beautiful..I just laugh and tell him he is blinded by love..lol.
Joonie,
You look too good to be looking down. I am almost always happy. I have such a better outlook on life now that I have RA. Before RA I was immortal, invincable, even bullets couldn't hurt me (so I thought). RA made me mortal and now I am so glad to be alive. Anybody that looks at me strangely I tell them I have RA and then they are so nice and caring. I even use it sometimes. Hey, I deserve it, I have RA. Husbands always love their wives. If you are walking one step behind, what's next, a burka? Ha ha. Don't get any ideas. When I flare, I up my prednisone and keep on keeping on. I believe that you can compete for Ms. RA. Get happy girl, we have RA and we deserve to be happy.
Awww... Crunchy that is so sweet... the "blinded by love."
I know guys... I just thought I would share my thoughts. I usually share with hubby, but lately he has been not interested in what I have to say. I guess he just gets tired of hearing me talk about my RA. So... I guess that means it is time to go back into my RA shell and start keeping things to myself again.
Joonie I'm turning 47 and everytime I look at myself in the mirror I cringe! What use to be here is there. my ankles are swollen, my eyes are swollen from crying over the things I can't change.
You look wonderful......we notice more about our bodies than others do.
You are standing.....

Joonie you look lovely and I really mean that. I too have bent arms, really weird knees , my feet look like they belong to something from mars and since i turned 40 my body has a new friend its called gravity. My husband tells me everyday that i am a gorgeous creature( not sure about the creature ) but i'll accept the gorgeous. lol. Without the RA i would still have the gravity thing going on and the stretch marks from childbirth, the laughter lines and now the wrinklie things on my face, thats just life. My mind and body arent in tune with eachother. My mind says i'm still 21 and my body says LIAR LIAR.
We should all have a photo posting of ourselves.
Do you really think the looks have that much of an effect on your husband? If he really loves you, which I am sure he does, it wont matter to him what you look like. He is lucky, he's got a beautiful wife on the inside and out. Who cares what other people think! I am sure their not looking at the pictures the same way you are.
