    • Close Rheumatoid Arthritis

      I've had Ra for more than 10 years. Tried everything, short of gold. Enbrel is working the best for me. I still have flares on occasion but I get through them, usually in about 4-5 days. Experienced some quacky Rheumatologists, but finally landed the right one. As things go, he'll be retiring in a few years.

    • Open Back Pain

      2 back surgeries, L 4-5...ugh a bit of hell on earth. At least I'm walking and starting to dance again!

    • Open Infidelity

      In a nutshell:the plan was that my husband and father of our 2 children would complete college first, then it would be my turn. I walked in on him with a young classmate, and I left with my children. Two years later I met a wonderful man who I found I could believe in and trust. We've been married 22 years and have 1 child together.Recently I discovered his affair last year during my cancer treatments. His relationship with her was 12 years of our marriage. Simply spoken, I have no trust left.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Abandonment counseling
    • Open Bereavement

      I have lost too many family members as well as others. I haven't talked about it. Not sure if I will.

    • Open Fibromyalgia

      Severe Fibro. Getting shoulder and neck deterioration. Had since '97. Pain is usually pretty bad, still I work 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week...have no choice in that.
