aloha, jeanne
if it's your opinion that most folks with as are on disbility or trying to get on disability well...that's factually incorrect.
the arthritis society publishes a marvelous 'sales brochure' to explain as ...it says most people work and live semi-normal
lives into mid to late fifties...many 'retire' early...your mileage may vary.
they'll send you one copy of the brochure for free.
i think the purpose of new medical therapies and, indeed the nsd/lsd regimine, is to avoid disability.
disability is the pits. it's a limited income based on what your earned while working and medicare.
You have posted great success tales on the diet page...were you being perhaps overenthusiastic ?
is the diet not working for you any longer? what then might be plan B ?
working is a great thing...i miss it badly, breaks my heart not making little treats and cool stuff for people.
personally it was always theraputic to focus my mind on tasks, skills and quality control not aches and pains.
i agree that ma seems to have lost it...work wont cure as...
but the malaise of a life of waiting till you're bad enough for disability...work or therapy can help that and
work generates income...
communication is a two way street...i'm not good at all this.
but
i'd have probably shouted " you _____, work wont cure it, nothing will cure it, that's part of the problem"
(and if i were being really trashy, i could throw in did i get it from your miserable side of the family)
i said...i'm not good at these things.
don't give up...ya gotta keep fighting
best
