OUCH! When I travel I have to take breaks often. If they expect me to

travel very far these days. They better have wheels available. I have R.A. and

a

spinal disease and nerve issues yet to be diagnosed. Isn't going to the doctor

fun.

I don't know of anyone who will say they like going to the doctor or going

through their many tests that although they give out important information they

are painful and time consuming. But it's something we must put up with in order

to get the help we need so we can stay on our feet.
