Q: Service Dog for rheumatoid arthritis

Hi,
i am new here and glad to be connected to the community. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid in 2001. I have tried several meds and had bad reactions to many. I am presently on the waiting list for embrel and happy about that. The most exciting news I have to share is I have a service dog mesa. I have had her for about a year. You can see her picture there. She has made my life much easier in every way. I use dragon software because my hands are not good. With her though I don't need to use them much because she has become my hands. I would love to hear from other people out there with rheumatoid that have service dogs.

I'm desperately seeking help to find out if I qualify for my dog to be my legal service dog. I was diagnosed several years ago with rheumatoid arthritis and have been through several research programs.
My dog has a Companion Dog title from AKC, is a certified therapy dog and is learning to help me with physical task.
If you can help me get more information to see if I qualify, I'd will thank you so very much.
Thanks again,
Denise and Golden Retriever, Cowboy
