Welcome Liz! You have certainly been through the mill. I can only imagine the anger you feel after realizing there was a possible diagnosis so long ago.

I was misdiagnosed with RA at 15 and when I seemed to go into remission at 19, I ignored the little flare ups that happened through the years until last year when I could not deny it any longer.

It seems we also shared the madness that made us have many children as well. laugh2
