Being a painter is not always rosy. I have been sidelined with an RA flare up for about six weeks. My arms don’t work right now and I walk with a cane. I am to see a specialist in two weeks, after 2 doses of steroids. They help but it is temporary, helping for about a week. I have had RA since I was 32, with occasional flare ups, but never like this. It has been depressing to be honest, but I never give up on anything. I will bounce back with some help. 

Never give up!
