Motor vehicle wreck 15 years ago where I broke every thing in my upper body except by back,vehicle landed on my chest. So all in all fibro, RA, lupus, COPD(collapsed lungs in mva), as you all know some days are good some days are not. But I several interests in the sewing field so if I can't do one I almost always am able to do another. For me sewing is very relaxing and that is KEY to pain control!! relax if you can and enjoy life to your full potential even on those bad days.
