I've had to learn the perspective that everyone's story is different, and my arthritis is worthy of proper attention even if its 'nowhere near as big' as other conditions. In the process of switching medications every six months for four years now, with everything working well then fading (the body can work around immuno-modifiers... grr), and my wife's determination to get me to Find A Solution... I've learned to accept that I may never have 100% relief. Having most of my mobility and only some small bone growths at this point is my current normal, and I understand that I can't control whether it stays at this level or progresses. (Using the word 'progresses' instead of more negative variants actually helps my frame of mind as well.) Life is just adjusting to what is and what might be and being grateful for now.
