Well, I do work and do get tested, it is no worse than someone taking morphine, which shows up as an opiate, like heroine, so yes, it is legal and if you get discriminated against for it, they are the ones in trouble not you. I don't need either at this time, 10 years into this, I can deal just

Hi Pam, I don't know whether to say you are lucky to know what caused your TM, so you can avoid anything that will make you sick, or what to say. I don't have any type of rheumatoid illness and in December I was tested fully for a ton of illnesses. It ruled out everything they can think of and I
