Being Yourself Is More Than Enough

Posted on May 14, 2018

Members of myRAteam experience the burden of rheumatoid arthritis physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Sometimes we strive to appear healthier than we are to avoid the stigma of RA. Other times, we experience relief and support from peers who've been in our shoes.

Have you found yourself striving to appear as though you have it all together? Have you discovered ways to surround yourself with others who make you feel that you are more than enough? Share what you've learned in the comments below or directly on myRAteam.com.
