I am a little late in joining the posts...I'm 34 and just finally got diagnosed with RA after a years worth of misdiagnosis. So glad to hear it isn't just me...tired of feeling like no one understands how I really feel. My husband is the only one who knows when I am in pain, he is really sensitive to it since he has to lay next to me every night, tossing and turning in bed for an hour until I can find a comfortable enough position that does not hurt my shoulders, elbows, hands, hips, knees, and feet. I love the ribbon idea, and I am encouraged by all the posts on here!
