I was diagnosed with RA (Rheumatoid) about 15 years ago. The doctors told me that the disease may get progressively worse as time goes on and prescribed steroids to keep it from growing in the meantime. I'm realizing now the steroids did more harm than good. I began to lose strength in my legs about 10 years ago and was actually forced to move about my school building in a motorized wheelchair. My Rheumatoid specialist prescribed a medication which made me learn to give myself a shot in my thigh once a week. After 6 months I was Blessed to go into remission. No more wheelchair!

It lasted for several years but the last few years, and mostly during the pandemic, I started to regress. The shots are no longer working, and now it's in my bloodstream. I'm back to the drawing board. I've exhausted all of my sick time from work as well as most of my savings. Although I have insurance, the co pays and medications are non stop. My nights have become sleepless with me worrying about my next steps. God knows this is the last thing I wanted to resort to but reality has my hands tied. Please continue to pray for me because I know remission is possible. I have faith. *touch and agree* 

Thank you in advance for even reading this.
