22. I'm also suffering from Rheumatiod Arthritis like Ms. Turner

Feb 2013

It's hell some days and I know I look like hell. I dread summer visits home because of my weight gain and puffiness and inability to keep up with all my friends and family who are still able to be so active. I could only imagine if I was a celebrity and had to endure photos (something else I dread is being in pictures, my appearance is so different).

thanks for apologizing, Ms. Turner has been one I have looked up to during my disease.
