Are you ok? (I really should ask)

‘Not so great today’ (In constant pain but getting by)

‘Oh dear, have a nice cup of tea and you’ll feel better’

‘Great Thanks’ (last time I checked ‘tea’ wasnt used in the treatment of RA but thanks for the suggestion).

And also I get the fact that most people you speak to have some form of Arthitis (in my little finger) or knows someones brothers auntys cousins who has RA and they do just fine and you would punch them in the face if your wrists didnt hurt so bad!!

When I am in the grips of a flare or just an elevated state of pain, I tend to shut everyone out and keep to myself. I still do my job at work (I don’t ask for any special treatment), but people at work have learned that if I am quite, back off.
See, you can teach old dogs new tricks. lol Great post by the way.
