I just wish it could've been somewhat prevented. I also wish employers knew how important ERGONOMICS is!
I have two pain sources: my RA and the OTHER stuff which I have been told is everything from cervical stenosis to possible MS to post surgical radiculapathy to TOS to fibromyalgia to Arnold Chiari malformation to myfascial pain syndrome...sigh...everyone reads the MRIs differently it seems.

When I attempt to lie down...I get an instant occipital headache with arm and shoulder pain. Last neurosurg and pain management docs I saw said it was a post surgical result. Prior to surgery on cervical spine, I only had the occipital headaches upon reclining!

Falling asleep and staying asleep is ALWAYS a challenge.

Gentle ehugs, Carly
