I'm a high school/elementary orchestra teacher. I travel between five schools and also play in some community ensembles. This means that while I have no life, I do have a ton of fun! My kids and colleagues are a blast.

Luckily since starting on Enbrel my arthritis isn't nearly as much of an issue as it used to be. I really feel it if I miss a dose, though! Despite the outrageous cost, it's worth it. Teaching orchestra at five schools involves about as much furniture and instrument moving as it does actual teaching, and symphony rehearsals get awfully long (2 1/2 hours!), so it's a good thing I feel up to it most days. I feel pretty lucky after 18+ years of being in pain to have finally found a treatment that works, hands down, with no side effects. Whoo!
