My picks are top heavy towards the top of the list of contributors, not because they’re (as far as I know) any better than the bottom of the list or the middle, but because I started being methodical and going to each blog in turn, and then I got short of time and had to skip to a few others at random – so if I’ve missed you out it’s nothing personal!
I seem to have found the biologics posts especially interesting and inspiring, maybe because it’s something I know so little about. I really enjoyed the wide variety of takes on this fascinating topic.
Starting stories: A depressingly typical but nicely written starting story can be found at Jax.
Biologics: A great, and well balanced, tale of biologics from someone who has had a LOT of experience at As My Joints Turn. And a less positive one, sadly, so far, for Trish. But to balance that, Brenda has had a great experience. And a wonderful post in defence of biologics from Lene at the Seated View, and a fascinating alternative take (as always) from Cateepoo.
Wildcards: There’s a terrific post about RA and depression over at Single Rheum including some great advice.
Active versus passive patient: A nice take on this from J G Chayko and the old lady in her bones.
The pain of pain meds: Arthriticchick says it all and Deserae’s is actually painful to read … but I think you should! I really empathized with this one.
It’s been a fascinating week and I’ve come across a whole heap of blogs I didn’t know were out there.
Thanks to Rick Philips of RADiabetes for setting it all up and introducing me to them, and for some great posts of his own. I wish I had had time to participate more fully and post and read more but it’s been one of those weeks! Maybe next year …

Thanks so much for the shout-out! I really enjoyed your post on active versus reactive patient.
Like you, I haven’t read nearly all of the contributions yet — there were so many! I plan to catch up over the next little while.
