Thelma Thibodeau: JUST DO IT!

Thelma I have been living with rheumatoid arthritis since 1981 and Sjögren’s Syndrome for the last ten years or so.

I have been living with rheumatoid arthritis since 1981 and Sjögren’s Syndrome for the last ten years or so. While enjoying some golf in the summer of 2017, I did notice that I could hear myself breathing, was tiring easily and would start looking for a bench to sit on, just rest and catch my breath. I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in the fall but was able to walk on the golf course until August of 2018. The challenge now is to exercise every day, to keep busy and just be thankful for having such a great support team helping me to remain positive and to JUST DO IT!
