Hello everyone, I'm Lisa and I'm a RA Warrior. Diagnosed in 1997. I've been on almost every bio med, shots all over my body, enough steroids to kill a herd of cattle, I tried all the herbalist ideas..acupuncture..and I have come to realize...for me..it will always be a rough battle. That's ok tho..it means I have the first hand experience to help others. I was also diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis & degenerative disk disease in 2000.

Hi Lisa, welcome to our group! I'm new here too and somewhat new to this disease (diagnosed sero-negative RA since 2015), so really appreciate those who've dealt with this longer that share their experiences both good and bad! I hope and pray for you to feel better and stronger!
