Christine's Story

Blanclan@csj.net

my name is christine and i have had rheumatoid arthritis for 13 years (i'm 28 now) i have been through the cocktail of drug therapy's and back again with many times my rheumatologist looking at me and saying what do we try next? I have also been through the surgery routine with a fused right shoulder and left wrist and a auto fused right wrist. i have had good times and bad times (some really bad times) i am a mother of 3 young boys who had active bouts during 2 of my pregnancies. My last pregnancy which i delivered 1 month ago i feel as though i had a remission after being on celebrex for 2 years(i did the study program thing) and i praise God for this!!! Anyway i have to keep the attitude of life goes on or my active life of chasing my sons would run me right over. Most people who meet me during good times can't even tell i have the disease unless i need help with something ( i do have limitations) and are surprised when i tell them . Anyway just thought i would tell my story and if anyone needs some encouragement email me at Blanclan@csj.net i would love to talk anytime Getting by
