I'm pushing 59 and the only reason I'm still working is because Fibromyalgia is not a 'disability' by Soc. Sec. standards and since my DH had a stroke in 2008, I'm the primary bread winner. He's now on Medicare but that means I lost his COBRA healthcare. That's when I found out that someone my age who looking for individual health is uninsurable if they have fibro.
I have one Cymbalta left and then I'm on my own! I tried to get it from the drug company but they think I make too much $$. Perhaps they would like to pay the co-pays on DH's 3 types of insulin, blood thinners, cholesterol, triglycerides, arthritis, anti-depressants, doctor's visits, not to mention the neurological deficits we have to cope wth! Whew! sorry about that, didn't mean to go on a rampage!
Anyway, I'm so glad you were able to 'retire' even though it was for medical reasons. Think of me during the day and sew a few stitches for me OKAY?
