I don't know about you all, but as hard as I try to stay positive, I have my negative, lonely RA days too. When you wake up in sweltering pain knowing that it's going to be a difficult day before you even get out of bed in the morning, it's easy to feel down. On day's like this, I personally find myself asking myself a million questions. Like, "why was I targeted with this painful chronic disease called Rheumatoid Arthritis?

About Me: 
I am a 29 year old living in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood. I just obtained my MBA this summer (yay!). And I am finally enjoying some time to kick back and relax after the last two crazy years… juggling an Advertising career while attending night classes was not easy, but I survived. I am passionate about arthritis research as I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at the ripe old age of 23. I like to be creative… with my words, with sewing, with cooking and with working out. I volunteer whenever I actually have a free moment. Additionally, I am the New Membership Chair for the Arthritis Foundation Associate Board here in Chicago. If you are a local young proffessional interested in making a difference, please contact me for more information. Feel free to email me with any questions, comments or suggsetions at katiestew18@hotmail.com. Thanks and stay well!
