I'm a 35 year old single mom of 4 boys in Wisconsin dealing with RA and additional autoimmunes they are called mixed connective tissue. I've had the disease for 4 years. I'm now not working because of it, so I built a site called iwannagetwell.com to help me deal with this, but even now I'm too sick to keep it up. I've changed everything about my life to deal with this, my diet, lifestyle, I'm taking meds I said I never would. I just get worse. I am a firm believer in "you are your best advocate" so I don't take this sitting down!
