Flares & Stares

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. There I said it. I'm also Bipolar, Anemic, and can be an outright pain in the ass. I own all of it. Is there anything I'm missing?

Lately I've been suffering with the RA. I don't usually use that term but it seems to fit as of late. I haven't had a flare up in months but this past two weeks have been pretty terrible on and off. Last night I was woken up by it, my back was stiff and at the same time felt like it was being stuck by needles. This morning was better, it's now only my lower back but I'm still hungover from the pain for lack of a better term.

I'm not sure why I'm sharing any of this. I don't usually talk about it, at least not this publicly. 

I'm determined to get running again, and as painful as it is at first movement really does help this terrible thing. I'm also determined not to let this define me, defeat me or any of the like things. I just won't. I will overcome. 

I guess I just wanted to share here since I haven't in a long time.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
