Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

and I am so sorry to hear you have been down.

I have RA. It is very mild but it is still, at times, debilitating. Everyone loses patience but I do what I can do. My husband had heart surgery last year, it was much more extensive than we knew it was going to be. He recovered fairly quickly but the aftermath for me was horrendous and I certainly did not expect it. Pneumonia x2 followed by Whooping cough and I am still trying to recover.

With an auto immune disorder you just have to do what you can when you can.

For me it is getting a little done at a time. My husband feels great and keeps pushing to add more but I know my limits and just have to put what he wants and says out of my mind. I know I will be better, that is the good part about this not being something else that never gets better. Everyone just has to wait for it like I do, like you do, like everyone does. I wish my face would turn colors or something so nobody thought I was just faking it.

I am glad you have that support, use it and get better quicker!
