Hi there Miss Della!! Well, it looks like you and I keep having more and more in common!! I also have RA, and have had it for years!. I feel your pain, trust me!! I live in Mo!. so I don't know the laws for your state!. Your Dr!. will have to claim you an certain % disabled, and friend of mine is 40%!. How they determine the amount your're entitled, I have no idea!. But, I bet one of the best places you could go for answers is a RA support group!! You'd be surprised how much information and tips you can get there!. And they all understand what you're going through also!! So, find one in your area, and give it a try!! Let me know how you're doing! I just started rituxan (yuk!) and had an MRI this week!. Hang in there girlfriend!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
