     My name is Lanier Lobdell, and I am a 55 - year - old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (风湿性
关节炎), or RA. RA is a disease that mostly affects the joints, but it can also affect internal organs. I
have had RA for almost21 years, and it definitely has changed my life, however, I try not to live my life
like I have a disease.
     For me, attitude is everything. I always try to find humor in the situation or try to ignore it, but that
does not always work. These days I can hardly walk due to my ankles, yet I still try and do the things I
always did. I love riding my motorcycle, and I try to take long trips every year.
      This year I got involved with some folks who make the biologic medicine I am on, to create the
Going the Extra Mile Tour to raise awareness about RA. The tour will take me across the country and
back on my motorcycle, making stops along the way to meet with local Arthritis Foundation (AF)
chapters and people who are affected by all forms of arthritis including RA.
     I want to encourage people not to let RA stop them from living their lives the best they can. There
are so many new medicines coming out these days, and they can really help. People have to be their
own supporters and get informed -- knowledge is power. Talk to your doctor and focus on what you
can do--not what you can't. Rest when your body is telling you to and push and keep going when you
can. Learn to listen to your body- that's how I deal with having RA.
