Independence

[zimmie]

I like to consider myself a talented and an independent person.

Achieved many things in my life.

But when I can't wipe my bottom, brush my teeth and shave, I know how myself any many others feel about having this awful thingy.

Don't like the word disease makes me feel unclean.

Yep it can affect your independence. But when you get more controlled it will be better. There is help with all sorts of gadgets and gizmos I got from my Ot , might be worth an assessment?

But don't give up hope as your struggling get back in touch with the Rheumy for more help? Xx thinking of you x

I was going to say welcome back, as it's been quite a while since I last saw you post. Although maybe not as you look as though you are struggling. Sorry I can't offer any practical solution for you. Harry Potter I ain't 😁 all I can offer is support and best wishes. Keep battling!

Thanks for replies.

It was a sort of tongue in cheek post though.

I hate the word disease too although I know it's apt.

Tongue in cheek? What does the post mean then?
