 I am so much more than that.

I am a woman!

I can do anything!

I may not always accomplish everything I set out to do but I try as hard as I can on any given day. Some days it isn't worth the pain and effort and other days I feel like Super Woman. When I feel like that you can be relatively sure that I am going to be out of commission the next day or two. When you have invisible disabilities you try to do everything you can when you have a "good" day. The problem is in trying to make up for "bad" days you do more harm to your body and it lets you know in a BIG way. What I'm trying to get at in such a round about way is:

If you love me:

No one is telling you that you have to like everything that is going on with me because I most certainly don't. I miss so many things that I have lost the ability to do. It's not like I enjoy lying around like a pile of junk. I miss my freedom more than anything else. I hate the limitations that the pain instills. 

Do you really think I like pain?

Do you really think I'm just lazy?

If you do, then you are the most self centered, inconsiderate, ignorant person I know and you can kiss my
