The other day, I realized it had been nearly a month again since I’ve written here. I don’t have a lot of RA-related epiphanies these days, I guess.

In any case, to find more fodder for this blog, because I believe this is an important perspective that is rarely shared with the world, I finally set up a google alert for the term rheumatoid arthritis.   Now, I get all the news on my disease, straight to my inbox — how convenient, if I’m not in a down-on-myself-because-of-my-health mood.

Yesterday, I got my first google alert on the topic.  And after sifting through a host of information on the the prescription drug market, I discovered RA Guy (http://www.rheumatoidarthritisguy.com/).  This chronic thirty-something writes about his superhero disease status.

His blog is so uplifting.  We are all superheros dealing with this crazy disease that attacks our bodies from the inside out.  Being a superhero is also a good reason for not revealing his true identity — which we have a policy about around here too.

The best thing about discovering RA Guy is his blog roll.  I’m so used to suffering in silence that I never thought to find others and talk.  Thanks for that RA Guy, and thank you google for your little pervasive technologies.

Now, all I need is a clever pseudonym and I can join ranks.
