Not so good. Wife has to have a second hip surgery (1st one got some kind of infection and hasn't ever fully healed (2-3 times a day changing dressings for the last 2 years). Eldest son is a 100% disabled vet (brain cancer). While the cancer appear to be stabilized, I've had to drive him everywhere because he's developed extreme nerve pain in his leg ( something is screwy with his back and the VA is just now figuring out we're serious about how bad it is). I'm left taking care of everything and I'm the one with RA!. Between the 3 of us you possibly could make one fully functional body, maybe. On the plus side 46 days until I retire....

Thank you so much!! The replies mean so much . They truly do.
I was stressed !!! Working as a visiting nurse has gotten more stressful for me . I have been wanting to leave the nursing profession for a while but I still need an income.
It’s hard to admit things are more difficult for me now . Pain and my body’s inability to bend and move like it used to is hard to face .
I’m also 55 …hitting a time in a woman’s life when things slow down and the weight I have put on is something I’m at battle with constantly.
Thank you for letting me vent and express myself here.
I will try the humira. Lori thank you again for your understanding words and encouragement
