So with you! I can't put mine on at all when I wake up with a shoulder even the littlest bit out of place (as happens a lot!), and since I live alone and all my neighbours are male, I just have to manage without, which doesn't do my back much good.

it really does suck.i have to wear one because of size and weight of boobs but then the underwire digs in that can sublux ribs.

Yep... Sigh. I also have a Marfanoid ribcage deformation, so they never sit quite right against my ribs.

Because of course, that doesn't create exactly the same obstacle.

You an expert at putting up obstacles! A close friend could shave your legs for you.

I have read a lot of your posts and I don't think you want to get better or help yourself.

If you'd read my posts, you'd also understand that my conditions are incureable.

i would ignore kk,onw,sdw and victory,they are all past it,and have forgotten what it's like to be younger than 60,and think they know more about disabilities,than the person who is disabled.think people should put up with it and say nothing.

I am astonished by the attitude of some people on here. I remember what it was like to be healthy and working full time taking everything for granted.
Now I have rheumatoid arthritis and I know that my life will never be that way again. If someone had told me 2 years ago that I would be like this now, I would have laughed in their face.
I don't wish illness or disability on anyone but I would just love for people to experience it for a short while before they judge others.

I also remember what it was like to be reasonably healthy. (I have had visual problems since birth; but wasn't too bad until I was about 16 / 17)

I would do anything now to go back to being healthy, drive and do all the things that others take for granted. DLA helps people like me live as normal life as possible.

My husband has had rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years. Just about to commence on anti TNF treatment after failing 2 dmards. Are you having to get someone do the methotrexate injections for you as you haven't the manual dexterity for the needle and syringes?

Think I know what it is about. i've pushed the wheelchair, cut up the food, showered and dried him, dressed him etc. Listened to him groaning in pain everytime he turns over in bed. Fought for him to have the very best treatments available.

i met a lady last month who is having the anti TNFs. She was dancing, running up stairs etc. She said it was like a miracle
