That TShirt hit the nail on the head and I’m ordering and wearing through the house, Doc’s office and everywhere else that could use a campaign! I must admit before receiving my diagnosis and researching I may have been ignorant to RA so I can image there are many people who may need a lesson. I’m hoping this shirt will produce dialogue where I can inform people that inquire about it... No, It’s not just arthritis, so keep your otc meds because I’m sure they will benefit you more than me😉🙂! My dad was one of the most ignorant until I sent him a web link on RAand now he wants to cry with me... At the end of the day unless they feel what we feel they will never really know!
