I've found yet another RA forum (American) and found a thread entiled .......You Know You've Got RA When.........
I could identify with some of the post and laughed at some others
Here goes............................
when u need to ask the children to open your child proof meds....
When you purse sounds like a giant Tic Tac dispenser!.............(That's me, I always give a note, much easier that fiddling about with change)
... when on some days you sleep more that you cat!
you ponder whether you could actually slide down the banister like your 7-year old, because it's gotta be easier than walking down those stairs.
when you ask your 9 year old son to open jars for you...
You know you have RA when the hilight of your Sunday evening is filling up your daily pill dispensers.
.... when filling up your pill dispensers takes longer than making dinner.
.... when the pharmacist knows you anywhere he/she sees you.
When your meds fill you up more than your breakfast!
You've named various body parts "Snap" "Krackle" and "Pop"
When your local pharmacy sends you a Christmas card!
when the pills you take are their own food group/breakfast/dinner
When your 4yo can open something you cant
.....when your husband has to dress you instead of undress you!!!!!............(thought that was really funny..........yet sadly true!!!!!!)
Your medical alert bracelet simply reads, "call for more information" because your medications change so often.
............................................................
Done.............thank goodness I know how to copy and paste!!!!!
Anyone add any more?????????Paula
