i woke up this morning crying from the pain. i haven’t done that in quite a long time. anchovies & soup is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. i apologize if you are here for the food and travel. today’s writing is going to be a little bit different. i need to talk about this for a little bit, if that is okay. i am always reluctant to talk about my RA in a space like this because i never want it to be the thing that defines me.
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.
Thank you for sharing this. My senior dad has RA and has struggled for years. I’m going to share this with him — I hope reading it will help him feel less alone. ❤️
