We came across an interesting blog post last week by the Rheumatoid Arthritis Guy talking about how his relationships have been affected by RA. He mostly talks about the relationship with his life partner, who has taken the brunt of the burden resulting from RA Guy's condition. The post, titled "Do You Ever Feel Like a Burden?" comes on the heels of one of our posts in which we revealed the findings of our Arthritis Awareness Study. This Spring Flexcin conducted a national survey to find out how aware a person's support network is when they have arthritis. The purpose was to get a better picture of what type of support people receive while they are coping with the disease. Approximately 1,350 people living with some form of arthritis or joint pain problems participated in the online survey. Respondents came from all over the country.
