The Real Pain of RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis): A Patient's Perspective

I wrote this book for people newly diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis or anyone that is battling chronic disease. I want to share a lot of the challenges of living with RA from a patient's perspective. RA is a very serious disease and after only two years of being diagnosed, I was unable to work. I was diagnosed with RA seven years ago, and I want to share the difficulty I experienced transitioning from being an independent working adult, to becoming fully disabled. Living with chronic disease is not easy, but you can recover and get your life back. I felt it was necessary to share my struggle and the steps I took to recover. I want you to know you are not alone although family, friends, and even doctors can sometimes misunderstand you. Living with RA is a lifelong journey and it will take a lot of patience, courage, and faith to recover. I hope to inspire you to become a warrior, conquer RA, and fight for your health.
