Take care ; worry : Less. It's great that you are worried about taking care of yourself. Just worry a little less. Even with ra. Take your meds as prescribed. Be good to yourself. Many of us will succumb to heart attack and lung disease. I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Be well.

Lower : Statistics heart, cancer, stroke are still death leaders. But good choices reduce chance, and delay onset of trouble in general.
