It’s hard to watch this awesome video of my cutie kicking a ⚽️ and not cringe at the ever present bruises covering my entire body, thanks to heavy #prednisone use. To me, these bruises are more than just “ugly” to me. It reveals the truth that I like to keep hidden—my RA is NOT under control and I need meds like prednisone (despite the ugly side-effects) to keep me functional. The hit to my ego isn’t due to the black-and-blues, it’s that I’m this unwell and there’s not much I can do about it except keep taking these meds. . . . #rheumatoidarthritis #autoimmunedisease #rheum #RA #JRA #Arthritis #chronicpain #chronicillness #invisibleillness #chronicmom
Ok so he might kill us when he’s older, but for now, we are loving our Pollito Chicken! 🤣 #Fbf #Halloween19 #chronicmom

We did it!! We kept a human baby alive for a whole year! 🤣 Santiago Joyce, you are such a joy. Worth the wait. Worth the struggle. We love you so much! ❤️ Thank you @trunkdax & Tía @anaromina for the adorable overalls!😍
Andres, Santi & I on Lifetime for #rheumatoidarthritis awareness!..Sometimes I get embarrassed and wonder what people from my high school will think of me when they see I didn’t turn out perfect and beautiful and successful like them. I got a disease, I’m not done with college yet, it took me 7 years to have a kid... then I remember I’m the tortoise, not the hare and because I have to do more with less, I’m 10x more appreciative of the little things in life than they ever will be.💜💙Link in bio!👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
#tbt to Santi on the set of Dr Phil! Airs at 3 pm! Check your local listings!!! #rheum #RA #raawareness #rheumatoidarthritis

Thanks for coming!

Thank you for visiting my blog. I am so happy you are here! I created this blog back in 2011 on tumblr because I felt there was a need for someone to talk about how chronic illness affects not just our bodies, but our souls as well. Always remember, this is a safe space for you to vent, scream, and be yourself. :)

<3 Steph

RA is a part of me, but it doesn’t define me
