Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 > > I have problems with people not believing that I am sick.The only ones that do seem to be the people who have lived with me, they know lol, and astute people who notice people's moods, changes in behavior etc. Most people just son't seem to be aware of physical problems of others unless it is a deformity, and they generally equate sickness with their own coughs and colds lol. Perhaps it's just beyond their comprehension. I don't know. I work to educate the close friends In have along the way in my life and most of all remind myself when I am having flairs etc tjhat I need to take care of myself and to take it easy. I too have arthritis in my neck. I have not lost use of my hands however, or not from that. I was having severe neck pain and shooting pain and found what helped me was to get en ergonomic pillow. It has done wonders for me. Taking the stress off my neck is extremely important. > > > >posted by ladeyangll > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
