If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Thanks Holly,
It sure describes my life so clearly. I have printed it out for a few family and friends. I always have hated when somebody says "you look so well ".

Thanks Holly. I had forgotten this and I printed it off. I have family that could stand to read it. (if they will):o) That's a problem on it's own. ;o)
I appreciate you and all you do for us. Hope you have a good week.

That is an awesome letter. I think it is one that everyone should give to the people in their lives. Whether its that cranky boss, or a confused family member or friend. It covers my feelings quite well.
Thanks for posting it

Definitely, one of the best post I have read in awhile. I agree, the biggest myth regarding our arthritis condition is that people will somtime think we are bluffing about our health when they see us working 8 hours one day on a job site, yet, they don't stick around along enough in our lives to judge the following day or week of how we can't do our jobs anymore because of a weak back. That is why it is so hard for many us to hold down a full-time job because of lack of education by the general public and Ankylosing Spondalitis. Most likely I can work a full-time for seven days straight but to work consective weeks or 52 weeks a year is impossible. Hell, I have a hard time just walking around Wal-mart or a local mall without leaning on everything or taking constant sit-down breaks. The only way to possibly even work again full-time is to have a desk job, period.

thanks for bumping up. I would not have seen it otherwise. It is so true and a good way to explain what is going on with us.
thanks again for reposting it to the front.
Have a Blessed Day

Thank you for this. I will be using this for my family & friends...I think it is well put, and you were able to say it better than I have been able to. Thanks again.
