Hi
I was diagnosed with RA two and a half months ago. Initially, with the medication working pretty well, I thought the tough part of this illness was taking the pills…. I know, it sounds funny right!
Putting the pain aside, my biggest challenge right now is getting my colleagues to be more sensitive and aware of what I am going through. How have you managed in this regard?
I am tired of the “Ooh my grandmother has that” or ” just be positive, don’t let it keep you in bed” and “does that mean you are not coming in to work today?”
