Pinkers I would like to thank u for ur comment I really just wanted to shed some light on Seronegative Spondyloarthropathy Disease not for myself but for others who suffer in silence. Once I was deny Disability becuz my blood count for RA wasn't high enuff I was crushed. And got me a disability lawyer who had no idea what the disease is I had to research and school him on the disease. My RA doctor gave me a letter saying what I'm being treated for and I have to carry a copy with me in case I have a servere muscle spam and fall or can't move or if I have and emergency and have to go to another hospitals ER. It's mainly making life adjustments and losing and gaining friends. I'm going out 2day for the first time in a month traveling to chicago on the metra train alone. I'm going to c friends and my son. I have chronic pain daily with stiffness but I deal with it. I use to be a very active person/ musican, so having days where I can't do things is a great adjustment. I would just say to everyone who've commented/ showed concern and support thanks is not enough. Becuz all of us here have medical problems concerns and issues and for u 2 take time out for me is a true heart felt blessing. If there's anything I can ever do for u please feel free to ask, becuz a lotta time our family and friends really can't crasp what we go through. And here I feel we have and extended support system.
