Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects more than just your joints. It can impact many areas of your life and comes with a wide range of symptoms—some of which are less known or rarely discussed.

In your experience with RA, which symptoms do you wish were talked about and better understood? Which ones affect your daily life the most?

It helps me sleep, with my kicking, cramping legs, and anxiety.

Dedicated to my dear, late friend Marcia, who got hooked on opioids trying to escape MS-related pain.

I have developed a nasty case of arthritis in my hands. I am starting to discover things that will make it worse, such as cold temperatures. I now sleep with gloves on and wear insulated gloves when I am in commercial cool rooms.

The pain is having a big impact on my ability to sleep. I am on some fairly strong pain medication when I need it but it does not helping much.

Does anyone have any wisdom regarding pain management or how to handle arthritis?

Thank you everyone.

What is that, ah, a ripple,
Gushing, yet round pattern,
Waves of feeling circle,
Softly, like whispers, scatter
