I'm sorry. I read the whole thing. I knew things were bad, but I didn't know they were this bad.
This sounds an awful lot like my Aspiring Ex, who's been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and rheumatoid arthritis. The difference between you & her, though, is that you haven't given up.
Yeah. I am better at covering it up now. You Ex does have it harder than me at this point. Osteoarthritis is not as painful as Rheumatoid Arthritis, and most of the medications have worse side effects. I am hoping I don't get to that point in the future.

On the up side, I can claim it as a disability at work. It doesn't count for anything other than govn't required diversity counts. :-)
It also will not stop me from getting my motorcycle. It just means I am limited to Three Wheelers so I can ride it on the bad days. :-) Honda Goldwings and Harley Softails have three wheel conversion kits. :-)
