We all want the conditions we have to be cured, but this can never happen if we don't help out. Maybe some people are too ignorant to see that?? Health is so much more important that getting money for donating your blood. So silly. It is ridiculous people don’t want to contribute to medical research and so silly.

Good luck! And thanks for catching the mistake! Sounds like you’ve got a good area of study. One that needs to be studied for sure. Good luck! And thanks for catching the mistake!

Well done, and thank you! I'm in my honours year of uni, majoring in Sociology, and am seriously considering further studies; I feel it is important for us to research and write about our experiences with chronic pain and illness, to illuminate the social aspect of living with these, and to benefit our communities. (I have not yet gotten a diagnosis but live with various symptoms.) I'm particularly interested in the Sociology of sickness & illness, and the lack of place/space in society for the chronically ill. (But I'll stop being a geek now!) My (maternal) grandmother has RA; my mother and aunt get rheumatic pains but do not have RA. I have experienced rheumatic pain occasionally since I was in primary school. I also understand that RA is genetic and wonder about our futures. In addition, because of my own chronic pain and illness, I am increasingly aware of other invisible and/or chronic illness (although there are so many I can't learn about all at once!). I guess what I am trying to say is, in essence, that I am glad you started this blog, and glad I found it (off the Facebook Diagnose Support group!) - so thank you! :) (P.S. I think you meant "vial" not "vile"...) I think you’ve done a terrific job with this blog. Well done, and thank you!
