About Me

Many health issues causing MUCH pain...but looking forward to tomorrow, who knows it may be a good day! I am looking forward to also learning more so I can help myself try to feel- heal better....8) I also have a 'page' or 'site' or whatever you call it on the RA connection of the Health Central websites. I'm like a sponge...trying to learn as much as I can about all this. I have been dealing with this pain in silence for too long (10 years) and it'll be nice to read other peoples posts and know I am not alone. I have a family and they are GREAT, but I have always and still try to remain the 'backbone' of my family...show no pain, show no fear and cry in a dark room by myself so no one knows how much it really hurts. I look forward, like said, to learning how to manage this mess and 'meeting' new people. Here is just some of the crap I am 'dealing' with- Positive for RA factor, TMJ, IBS and Diverticulitis,Hiatal hernia and GERD,Degenerative tear of rotator cuff - R shoulder Patellar tendinitis and Articular cartilage breakdown (both knees), Degenerative Disc Disease-L3-4, 4-5, 5-S1, born with Spina-Bifida-Occulta, Lumbar Spinal Stenosis,Lumbar Radiculopathy,MPS, Fibromyalgia, Peripheral Neuropathy, Chronic Pain and Sciatica...almost forgot I also have a Vestibular Disorder, so on the days I can somewhat 'get around' I feel like the world is spinning under me..what fun...8) Be Well, ThinxMinx
