HI !! I'm a new arrival

[Guest guest]

hi there. I have been reading some of your posts for a few days and

then started to answer one here and there so I guess I had better

introduce myself. I had a job related back injury in the spring of

2004 and even though the comp carrier rejected it...I still couldn't

work. I couldn't get out of bed. It took me until Late September of

o4 to get on Achess (the medicade of Arizona) by then I had other

symptoms. and the sciatica was much worse and affecting my feet

terribly. In the matter of about 3 weeks I had diagnosis of 3 totally

blown out and unfixable lumbar discs, degenerative disc disease (why

they cant fix the above 3...they're all falling apart)and peripheral

neuropthy. oh boy can things get worse? I'm thinking right about

now.......well yes they can. I was also diagnosed with severe

osterporosis (the worse case my MD has ever seen) also Found out I

had OA, Ra and fibromyalgia..........what a bomb to have dropped on

you!! so .....I fit right in here, I am on a ton of meds, can't

work,stomach is shot from meds, and I can finally say that I am

officially on SSD after a long fight. I am a 54 year old female. I

have been divorced since 1997. I have 3 grown children living in

other states. When I get my back pay from SSD I am planning on moving

to North Carolina because my son and his famiy..my only grandkids (2)

live there...how I am going to accomplish the actual logiastics of

this I do not know.....mabe I should pray for an intervention by

several very strong angels able to carry heavy furniture!! Hey..ya

gotta have a sense of humor in this game...if you don't " they've "

won!!! " they've " being all of out various and sundry aliments!! And

I'm not about to let that happen to me!! Jenna
