About Me

Artistic, single, young, business woman in the prime of her life cut down by an incurable, chronic, painful and debilitating disease. Slowly getting over feeling sorry for myself and trying to find ways to cope. I refuse to give up or give in. Even though my \'stiff upper lip\' is even sore at this point. Had to quit work in Jul 2014 due to treatment complications. Previously I had keep working and have through pretty much all of the pain since the RA really started to hurt in 2006. I wasn\'t successfully diagnosed until Jan 2007 but was RA factor negative with aggressive symptoms (I am now seropositive). I used to run my own business (employees and whole nine yards) and used to live alone. I am temporarily living in my parents basement until I get out of the wheelchair again (temporary HA it\'s been almost a year geesh). I didn\'t get very much support from friends consequently they are no longer friends. I don\'t blame them, I wasn\'t much fun to be around. Chronic illness is not only tiresome for the person who has it but tiresome for others around you.
