Donald Myers Rheumatoid Arthritis Adult Honoree Don journey began in 2009 with acute onset bilateral nerve pain in his hands, a misdiagnosis of carpel tunnel, subsequent bilateral hand surgery and referral to Rheumatology. This began a whole new discovery of the world of Rheumatoid Arthritis! This incredible ongoing journey overflows with new experiences and understanding of the significance of genetics, chronic disease management, diet, weight, exercise, faith and medication. Don is eternally grateful for the support of friends, family and the Rheumatology professionals that continue to support him in this journey. Don been exceptionally fortunate to have been largely symptom free due to early intervention and medication. He lives with Rheumatoid Arthritis but it does not define him! |
