Your RA anniversary shoes are so cute! Good for you! I love a fighter!
I was diagnosed with RA some 15 years ago at age 35 and sadly I'm years past being able to wear anything with a heel. Thank God wedges came back in style. That's my only option after flats.
It is a really tough battle. I'm lucky to have a great guy in my life but we RA-ers are on our own, even when partnered. No one can possible understand our pain and it's ever changing, tricky behavior. Heck I barely can!

Here's hoping and praying for relief for us all!
I wish you luck and strength on your life journey.
