It’s a good idea to keep your online self separate from your real self with things like; name, address, phone number and to an extent that’s growing pictures. It’s not hard to data mine these days. It doesn’t mean that you’re hiding anything or not telling the truth. In fact, I find that not using my real name lets those who know me personally that I allow on my friends list understand what I am talking about and I can open up more in a public forum about personal issues that I would probably have not done otherwise. I like to try and help people and relay information but if some people knew what I go/am going through it would make things more complicated.

I have really good insurance which covers all of my ENBREL injections, they are working great compared to the years of other meds I have used. Thank you for this very informative post.

I haven’t called in sick because of this yet, but it’s SO hard to get to work and my job is very stressful, so it just makes it worse. I’m hoping to go back to school and become an ultrasound technician or something where I’m not sitting all day. I think my desk and chair are slowly killing me.
