My Mama and my paternal grandmother had RA so it runs on boths sides of my family. Since my Mama passed away in 1/04, we have been working with the Arthritis Foundation raising money and doing the walks every year. The rest of my family suffers from OA which I do to along with carpal tunnel, osteomyelitis, plantar fascilitis, DJD, spinal stenosis, tendinitis, tennis elbow, traumatic arthritis plus 3 sleep disorders. I've been tested for RA and thank God, I don't have it. My Mama suffered so much from it. And I have enough different forms of arthritis as it is. I didn't know there were so many until I got involved with the foundation. You have my daily prayers, Lisa. Hugs, Dana
