I am an actress, advocate, spoken-word artist, poet, producer, and woman living with rheumatoid arthritis. Despite my afflictions, I choose to live a very fulfilling life. Stay Blessed!
I’m a big resident evil fan, I saw you in a recent live stream. I don’t have a disability myself, at least one I’m aware of, but I’d just like to say that you are a such a lovely person, amazing human being and there is no way you should have any shame, or embarrassment or try to hide who you are. The internet is a toxic toxic place unfortunately a lot of the time and screw them, but you are beautiful inside and outside, who wants to be “normal” anyway?
I am a huge Resident Evil Fan and my mom suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis, I also have a learning disability, My mom and the Resident Evil franchise taught me how to read, Sherry was the one character I truly identified as, because I was a 10 year old When she was, Other then being a huge part of my childhood I appreciate the attention you are bring towards Rheumatoid arthritis
CrookedFingersGirl 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 It is actually very sad because the year I was diagnosed I became so so so depressed. Actually that is a lie I have been depressed most of my life........... I wouldn't talk to anybody and I would never bring anyone inside my mother's house. I was born at 24 weeks early and everyone I knew either had mental problems like ADHD or Schizophrenia. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 It broke my heart 💔💔 because a schizophrenic ran around a church I actually invited her to and told everyone I was going to die because I was mixed with black and white. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I mean....... seriously what I corrected her on that because her mental thinking was screwed up. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I also use the badger balm but my favorite is the Real Time Pain Relief. Have you tried it yet? It has arnica in it but also they put emu oil in it to make it absorb deep. It has capsicum in it but it doesn't set your skin on fire like some topical creams. There is also some menthol but it has a good smell, I don't smell like a medicine cabinet after using it. :) The site is www.bestpainreliever.com
I have had more flare ups than I can remember during 41years. But I´m stable now on Methotrexate and Enbrel. I hope you´ll get better medicin and fewer flare ups. They are like a vacation in hell. Love from Sweden!
Wow tysm for the feedback to everyone in the comments…I’m sorry 😣 I got even more sick after this and then I forgot the login information (yes, even the old emails I used to create this YT acct! )
Never silly! We are real people dealing with a, deseas that turns you life upside down. Even though our friends and family members can not even begin to imagine what Is RA. It will help them understand . Thanks for sharing!
I will…but…I’m logged out and for the LIFE of me I can’t remember my passwords :( (So after this I got so sick …I’m sooo sorry i haven’t abandoned my mission for inclusion!)… tysm for the support!! I just really really need this Accts info :(
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis! It really sucks the pain is unbearable! I fully understand how you feel. Praying for a cure , it's not easy. We have to hang in there God is good
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover what is the treatment for arthritis try Knewreck Arthritis Treatment Guide (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.
i'm very awake suffering with a flare up to my left arm, I'm in sooo much pain that I cannot sleep so decided to tune into youtube as a reminder that i'm not the only sufferer (diagnoised rheumatoid arthritis 2005). I so get you with the attitude as people often don't understand the extent of the pain and the many symptoms. On appearance I am quite well built and generally speaking reasonably active, yet little do people know. At times I blame myself for the condition, I tell myself this is punishment for the things i've done wrong, often consider myself fat and I hate the ugly nodules on my finger joints . I have researched this condition a great deal and I know I should make more effort to follow a healthy controlled diet and exercise more often. I know these factors help because during the fitness fads I've had in the past I have been pretty much pain free, however self-discipline is tough when yu live alone. Thank you for being so open about how you feel, I enjoyed your video-you're great!
I was diagnosed at Age 2 with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. So you are definitely not being punished, unless you can believe an innocent baby girl deserves that. please read my comment below.
Gaaah i neeeed to remember how to log into this acct! Urgh I’m so sorry I feel like I’ve abandoned y’all …. So after this time in LA I got so ill my friends basically had to pack up my LIFE and PUT me on the wheelchair to my plane…I tried I really tried to make a difference for us Rheumatics…I’ve been ‘recovering’since then…i HAVE to get this acct back!
TYSM…that brainwashing STILL creeps into my psyche and it is NOT true. Not True…(That mentally sick attitude was put on me by average bodied/average minded ppl…)…
Wow. I wasn't expecting such heartfelt videos. I was watching a Resident Evil 2 playthrough, and one thing led to another, and I found your channel. My mom has fibromyalgia, a good friend of mine has RA, and I was in immense pain myself several years ago, where I spent one-to-two weeks out of every month in bed. I was eventually diagnosed with celiac disease (unrelated to the pain). So I can relate. As for being bullied and then turning into a bully yourself - it happened to me too. That sort of cycle exists everywhere. That's why it's so important to be nice to the people who aren't nice to us - because if we're not, we turn into them. Stay strong. Believe it or not, your work touched a lot of people. I said a prayer for you.
+CrookedFingersGirl I've subscribed to both! I love your videos. That night I posted this, I watched a few of them. They were entertaining! There's a unique self-awareness about you. And empathy. You really do have the ability to connect with people in ways most people can't.
+CrookedFingersGirl Yep. You don't have to be so self-conscious. Your message is one everyone can relate to because we've all been through illness. So be as loud as you can possibly be. Some of us need it.
do you have better ways to handle it now ? what about tai chi or yoga ? you know a lot more about how to handle it and maybe you have already tried it ?
Yes, understand the mood set, but couldn't see it. Great that you have help cleaning your place. Do you have any tips or gadgets to help you clean you apt when you live alone? Your videos are very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

I'm going through this right now, its HELL!!! Have dealt with this since I was 7 ,37 now...and it gets worse ever time. Good luck, let's hope they find a cure or at least some thing to give us some relife
God bless you, I get so frustrated because this disease not only seems to attack my joints, but also throws me into neg. thinking! thanks for addressing this in ur video, I am currently having a flare in both knees, and stuck in bed, but need to get up to pee, and I know once I start to attempt to get up, I start to feel like I have tourettes, between crying and cussing, it does get daunting! u definitely rock! smiles tcs
I’m so sorry for the late reply…I forgot this accts info- I got so sick after this and yes it effects my mind: how could it not!? I’d love to see an average bodied person switch places with us while we’re in a flare…I hope to be back..
Oh yes, prevention and maintenance are the key to feeling well: you make total and complete sense: Here's where I fail - once I feel consistently good, my efforts slack a little! I.E: I must ice after I get home and never do, then I wonder why I have swollen knees! Must do a video on icing...It's ALL about self care. I will check out the cream you mentioned and review it as well! Thank you for the tip! Please keep in touch and thank you for being my first commentator MsAldely!
You are very welcome! I thank YOU for commenting: now I know there is a point to having this channel...I'm so happy this video has reached you... and that is EXACTLY where my pain goes - allllll down my face...Good Luck with The Badge Balm. It is not as STRONG as Bengay. it iis a more calm and soothing pain reliever: hope that makes sense. I prefer the soothing balm when I get those massive migraines and yes, I'm definitely out for at least a day. I feel you! Let me know how it works out.
SERIOUSLY Prissy?! I just want to bring attention to people of diversity....I'm happy you like them and your support means alot...THANK YOU love and miss you!
I forgot to mention, yes, sometimes my head is spining, it makes me very nauseous and will be very vulnerable for some reason. But I wanted to tell you that I am trying a topical cream is called: ageless pain relief from isagenix and is very good if you apply it on your joint before it hurts..does that make sense? like I can feel when a flare up is about to burst, so then I start putting this on. Does not work very well on back pain or neck, but good on fingers, wrist, ankles and knees
Thank you for taking the time to this review, it really helpful, I am definitely going to try the badge balm, found in Amazon, I get the same exact pain in half of my face, the left side of my neck and my left eye, could take days to heal, my heart goes to you
