I was diagnosed with R.A. in 2006 and it's been life changing. The pain can be debilitating at times, and it really sucks to have to rely on my husband and others to help me with little things.

I created this list for others who might be experiencing the same things I am. I hope you will find something on this list that you didn't know about before that can help you live a better quality of life. This space will have tools, gadgets, resources and whatever I can find that might help you.

I have had many surgeries but luckily for you I know some basics that might help you prepare for one better.
