Dear Kim, ((((((( HUGS ))))))))

I do so understand where YOU are coming from and of the extreme pain that you speak of.... for I have been suffering with RA (rheumatoid arthritis) since I was 12 years old - I am almost 39 now. Many people in my own life did not understand at first, not even my husband (well, not until he got diagnosed with regular arthritis about 2 yrs ago) - and now while I may still have many people that do not know personally of the pain I speak of, they know me and know that I would never lie or make up such a thing up.... therefore they give me their unconditional love & support.

LoVe,

P.S.
the PAIN is REAL....I have the TEARS to prove IT.... and the days of not being able to move about to back up me and my words.
