SimplyRheumatoid.com is your #1 Resource for Living with Rheumatoid Disease.
This site is a resource. I built it to help you choose which books might resonate with you. Each person is different and has different needs, so one book is not a cure-all. There is no cure currently for Rheumatoid Disease. Many people with and without Rheumatoid are facing financial hardships and lack access to quality books. I understand paying for books is a luxury for some. Therefore, I am sharing a few key quotes from the books I have found insightful so you can decide which books to spend your hard-earned money on. Furthermore, I advocate for issues, books, movies, and organizations I care about on this site. Please consider supporting the authors, shows, movies, and organizations I feature on this website. Lastly, I am self-funding this website. I am not asking for or accepting donations at this time. Your money is better spent on the books I highlight on this site and my social media feeds. I hope you find value in having one website you can use for your research.
Due to current events, my blog and some content will now be pin protected for subcribers only. Furthermore, I chose to limit my social media presense and will post limited content on Bluesky.
Wishing healing and strength to all.

I stumbled across Guy Finley's book while shopping at Barnes and Noble. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing these five quotes with you since I think his book is packed with sage advice and wisdom. If you are struggling, feeling stuck, lost, hopeless, or down, please consider buying his book and reading some parts that resonate with you over and over like affirmations. It helps me. I am not religious but didn't mind the few religious notes in the book. I've purchased two copies of this book one to keep, and one I gifted. I selected these quotes because they should give you a reason to buy his book. Most pages offer inspiration and challenge your pre-set beliefs. This book is vital for exercising your critical thinking skills.
"Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over..."
"Until you know something different, you cannot do anything different."
"Until you do something different, you will not get anything different."
"And until you really get something different from your life, you cannot know what you have missed and how much more there is to understand."

"Suffering doesn't prove that you are all alone in life. What it does prove is you prefer the company of unfriendly thoughts and feelings whose very nature is to isolate you from everything good."
