044. Are you too proud to ask for help? Do you pride yourself on being self-reliant? Do you have a fear of appearing ‘needy’ or a fear of reaching out only to be rejected?

038. Those of us with an autoimmune disease are told, “your body is attacking itself” or “your immune system is attacking your body.” One common response is to identify as an Autoimmune Warrior, or for people with RA like me, a Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior. This signifies that we are fighters; that we must stay strong and battle against our illness because it’s a daily struggle that we have to endure. Tune in today as I share a different perspective and explain why I am not an Autoimmune Warrior.
