Hi, I have been enjoying this board for the past month. This morning I have joined and hopefully can add to, learn and share some ideas, input or just laughter.
My partner and I struggle with the daily dilemas we face courageosuly, with a positive attitude and the preserverence to live as Normal as possible with this Disease process. Melodie is a Disabled RN (After we were hit Head-On by a Drunk Driver) & I currently am still working. My RA & Fibromyalgia are challenging my daily limites, but onward we go.
Having RA & Fibromyalgia has changed every aspect of our lives, as well as Melodie's disabilities we face. Together we work well and live well for one another.
Thanks for all the Information, Ideas and Friendship that is displayed and expressed on this board, I look forward to reading others thoughts, history and general questions.
Glad you're hear and hope you'll post often so we can get to know you.
Oh, and I have heard a lot of people having car accidents and then getting FM. Don't know if there is a direct connection, but seems I seen it mentioned several times.
I got rear-ended shortly before my RA/FM symptoms developed.
