I pushed working to 35. Didn't "qualify" for disability until 40, and then it was because my Dr got so frustrated he ordered ALL my medical records from BIRTH sent-and I didn't get an official diagnosis until 5yrs ago at 50. I use a cane, on really bad days a walker (I have the fancy one with the seat and a handbrake lol, but I've been looking at the one where you can stand up with it but it's expensive and insurance doesnt always cover). I'm on 15mg of extended relief morphine 2x a day and I use a cbd vape pen (I use Koi 1000mg vaping liquid, no thc so no "high"). My pain on average is a 8-9, but I do have days of 10 and above. I just pop Tylenol, I have gloves for my hands, and I color, crochet, sew, use a tens unit, meditate, and just try to take my mind off pain. I live in MN and the weather isn't helping lol. How are you doing???

How are you doing? Seems like the kind of help I may need from my Dr's. But we're slowly getting there lol. I do use thc tho, with cbd. It's just the most helpful with the resources I already have 😅👍
