I have Rheumatoid arthritis and up to now I have lived a reasonably normal life, I do have to admit that some of the medications I have to take to keep the situation under control are a bit of a hassle and have some disagreeable side effects and at age 62 i had to have a total right elbow replacement which stopped me from continuing my trade as a carpenter I do however still do most of the things I have always done. We all have to live within the parameters put upon us.
