So great to hear Sarah’s story! My wife was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis about 14 years ago, so we’ve been there with not knowing what was wrong and doctors not knowing exactly what was wrong. She went to bed one night and work up the next day and couldn’t physically get out of bed.
Wow, that too sounds intense!
