My story is Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogrens, Myasthenia Gravis, dysautonomia and a pacemaker. I live in the mountains of East Tennessee with my husband on a small farm. We have two dogs, seven goats and I LOVE to spend time camping in our RV. “Time in the RV” is a medication on my med list, lol
Rheumatoid arthritis rocked my world in 2009 and later came Sjogrens, dysautonomia and a pacemaker. Just last year, we added myasthenia gravis. Despite working for decades in healthcare administration, I found myself on the struggle bus of a very complicated healthcare system. It’s a full-time job just to be sick, let alone trying not to drown in the daily grind of RA and other chronic illnesses.
So I created this site to encourage and equip patients who just like me, walk the good-hard journey of chronic pain and autoimmune disorders. You are not alone, friend.
