It must be a problem with the app. I’ll have to try on my computer

I just did a search and looked it up directly. It’s about time! Now they really need to redefine “functional” and be more diligent and serious when there are medically undefined symptoms.

They have a mailing list which is worth joining x

Interesting, thanks for posting.

I do consider myself disabled as I physically cannot do what able bodied people of my age can do, nor what I could do just a few years ago.

My life is impaired by RA. I spend most days at home, unable to do much because of my health.

I was medically retired before my 60th birthday.

Also, my health issues are protected by law.

I am aware this is a view some people on this forum don't accept.

But if the above do not qualify me for saying I'm disabled what does ?

Very interesting. I think most of us with RA and many other AI diseases have energy impairment and it's one of the many invisible effects of our disease which is often overlooked/ignored.Incidentally, I was just listening to a podcast that was posted by marionfromhappydays where the Rheumatologist was saying many of us with RA have low iron levels which is an easy thing for a doctor to improve for us and will give us much more energy. In fact the whole podcast is really worth a listen.
