Love, Sex, and Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis

This blog is currently active at http://typeawithra.wordpress.com. Read about living with rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pancreatitis, and being a caregiver. Here's more info below. For anyone living with a chronic illness or knows someone who does...

This is a very candid personal diary/journal written by Sasha , a thirty-something, hard charging executive type with some serious medical issues. This site is about positive change&actions rather than just complaining.

This is also a site for people who have to be a caretaker for loved ones with chronic illnesses. Sasha is the one with the diseases - Jax is the caretaker. No relationship is easy, but they are so much more complex with this added dynamic. Sasha&Jax hope you’ll gain healing in your life by reading about theirs. This is the one major goal of this site. We’ve added the category “couples therapy” & “love&Sex” so you can easily sift through posts.

THE PLAYERS

SASHA:

Sasha lives in Los Angeles with her boyfriend Jax. She loves surfing, hiking, working, and sharing her story with others in the hopes that it might help them cope with their own chronic illness. When Sasha is not writing blog entries she is usually found creating projects for herself or her clients. Her successful self-owned business is based in Los Angeles, California. In her free time she likes to garden, do puzzles, and paint. She can’t wait to get back to surfing. Contact Sasha.

JAX:

Jax is an amazing man. He works hard at his full-time job and then comes home to work for Sasha and Jax’s company. He loves classic cars and planes and is a huge fan of Steve McQueen (who isn’t?!!). He’s great with technology and teaching Sasha the ins and outs of this blog. He also refuses to let Sasha use the word “blog” as a verb - which she believes is a very noble cause. He’s definitely more funny than Sasha. He loves the outdoors including swimming, hiking, the sea air, and is tremendously fascinating. Girls: Keep your hands off him - he’s mine!
