I cannot explain how deeply I appreciate this blog post. I feel like someone gets it - what my life has been like for the last 2.5 years since developing RA. RA and the medications to treat it have really thrown me for a loop, or more aptly, they have altered my life on a grand scale and on the daily minutiae. Baking has been my favorite hobby, a therapeutic outlet, and source of creativity/artistic expression for well over a decade, but since developing RA, I've hardly baked at all. I'm constantly physically and mentally exhausted, and my attempts to bake have not gone well so I've ended up baking less after being so dissatisfied with my end results. I relate to this post, and it means so much to me that the author has taken her time and energy to share these thoughts and ideas, as well as her own personal experience with the world. I feel known and understood, as well as supported. Thank you.
