I was diagnosed ...Thank you for such a great post. I was diagnosed 4 years ago and can sympathize with your situation. Fortunately I was approved recently for disability. I drew my first real paycheck at age 16 and worked my entire life. I used to work a 40 to 60 hour week, then cut back to 32 hours a week, and finally had to give up working. I am so thankful that my husband has excellent retirement insurance under which I am covered. I am 61 years old - my mother got RA at age 36, I was 57 so I am thankful that I was able to work and lead an active life for many years.RV-Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10623901725019842285noreply@blogger.com
