Duncan Cross of the Patients For a Moment Blog Carnival recently asked us to answer this question "What have you learned about yourself, your illness, & other sick people?"

For example, a couple of months ago my my sister, husb& & I went to CA Adventure at Disneyl& & for the first time since I've had rheumatoid arthritis (17 years) I got on a roller coaster that went upside down. California Screamin' was a blast. I was sore, using a wheelchair, getting sick, & even had thrush so bad I couldn't actually scream. But I decided on a whim to do … [Read more...]
