Thank you for sharing so beautifully. Friends of mine with RA have struggled with its invisibility. Your story means a lot and brings much-needed awareness <3

My sympathies to you - constant pain is the worst thing.

A good friend suffers from RA and is unfortunate enough to suffer also from OA.

A sports doctor treated him for his OA with a drug called Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium - surprisingly he found that it gave him much relief from both conditions.

Possibly worth looking into….

Once again my sympathies and best wishes to you.
