My name is Sharon.I am now 72. My journey in pain started when I was in my early20's. I had been in 6 rear end accidents before I turned 22. Had 2 sons by my 23rd Birthday. I worked as a collection agent, repossession agent, home foreclosure agent, etc. Yes, I did my own repossessions. Yes I've been in some frightening situations. In my hope for help with neck pain I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. My R/A went into remission for 2years before returning with a vengeance. About the same time my R/A returned I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I was already done with pain. Having Fibromyalgia just makes all of this worse. I had 2 knees replaced. Best decision I've made. I now have fractures in my lower back & neck. My eyes got cloudy due to glaucoma, had surgery for that. I finally retired after 38 years in my occupation. The longer I was in my position, the uglier debtors got. I found I was fatigued all day. Sleeping later & just generally unable to keep up with demands of the house have plagued me. My husband is my help. He has been remarkably helpful. I continue to look for help. I am trying to stay open minded. I'm also very interested in what my meds are & why do my Drs seem to think different meds will do for me. I would prefer to be on Humira. But as we age & are forced on Medicare, patients have very little to say about their treatment. Thank you if you made it through this novel. I'm open to questions. Sharon.
