Having a visible disability brings other types of discrimination, but not this one. I don't have to explain the severity of it and no one expects me to defend myself.<br /><br />Great post.

This is an excellent post, beautifull...Wow, Laurie.<br />This is an excellent post, beautifully written and described. You've nailed RA -- your experience of it -- in a way that should open some eyes. And while this is *your* experience of RA, many of your symptoms are shared by thousands of us who also have the disease. Crap disease? Yes.<br /><br />But we adjust, don't we. Somehow, we keep on keeping on. And we smile, we work, we catch the later bus, we manage in spite of it. One of the things that struck me as I read your post is how I tend not to think much about the things I can't do anymore. I've become so used to finding other ways around the obstacles RA throws up at me, I hardly think about it as I go around them, over them, under them or through them ...<br /><br />Thanks for this. You wrote from your heart. And I hope you're feeling well, and strong, and ready for a new week.<br /><br />Hugs to you ...<br />-WrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-59803919721878688682010-07-24T23:08:58.910-04:002010-07-24T23:08:58.910-04:00Laurie,
