This week I'm being a little selfish. But I'm also thinking of special people like Naomi & teddybear21 when I donate today.
Today's donation is to Arthritis Australia.
I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when my first baby was a few months old. My specialist tried to encourage me to stop breastfeeding him earlier so I could begin methotrexate treatment. I refused however, until he was ready to stop, which he did at 10 months old. I was on the medication for less than a year because we wanted another baby and I had to be 'clean' for at least 3 months before we could even try.
Now I have my two babies, and I will be on methotrexate indefinately...until someone says the magic words, "We have developed a cure for Rheumatoid Arthritis."
Once again, there is a minimum donation of $10 on this website, so I will not be donating next week.
I'm hoping my $10 is multiplied today by other generous readers of my blog (as is my hope every week).
You can donate too by clicking here.
