Thank you Stacy
some really great idea's to make the season enjoyable for those of us in pain.
We've all had to suffer through some of these holidays in pain, it's difficult to get family and friends used to our chronic pain and illness, especially those that don't see us, but once or twice a year. Try to simplify the title of your illness, so you don't have to explain the entire thing to every person who ask's. I sometimes just say, "I have severe arthritis". It can be exhausting to go through your whole pain story to every person who asks.
I hope everyone has a wonderful full holiday! Be kind to yourself!
Betty
