Arthritis

Although not a truck driver, I was a delivery driver to customers homes using transit style vehicles. My problems began about 5 years ago when small tasks were causing more and more pain in my joints. As the weeks went by I decided a visit to the doctor was in order and after a number of visits I was eventually recommended to a specialist who diagnosed me with severe Rheumoatoid Arthritis. I am currently taking a number of different medications and have worked very little since my diagnosis, although not lucky to have this at least I was only a few years from retirement before it took a hold.
