Do We Look Sick to You?

The winter after I was diagnosed with rheumatoid...
Only trouble is, I also find myself getting pissed at people who need to be treating me differently cuz I have RA. I need them to know I can't do math in my head on meth days. I need more breaks and I can't walk as fast as they do. I'm also way to old to be dealing with peer pressure from people who want me to drink with them. Just this Thnxgiving, do ya really need to ask me three times if I'm sure I don't want a glass of wine? If you must know, would really really LOVE a glass of wine, but show some stinkin' respect for my choices! Sheez!
Still....find it irritating to be doted on too and I don't always want to discuss my "condition" ad naseum either. And DO NOT make assumptions about what I can or can't do, or even what I would want to do!
This is one of those quandries that I think stays with us and has to be navigated over, and over, and over again........
