DEXTER,

OMG, do I ever know how awful arthritis is. I am only 31years old and have it so bad. I have bone spurs on my cervical spine, which the doctor wants to wait untill I am older before the neurosurgery. I dont think people realize the amount of pain and discomfort that comes along with arthritis or chronic pain.
I never imagined that I would have this horrible never ending pain along with my mental illness. I get upset because of my age people look at me as if there is nothing wrong with me and tink I am lazy, I have learned not to push myself too much on a good day when the arthritis is not flared up as bad, because when the pain eases I try to make up for all of the household chores which I have neglected due to the depression and pain. I have the most difficult time with such simple things like running the vacuum cleaner, And I am by myself so many hours everyday, I create so much clutter that housework becomes my full time job. It is so frustrating. June Cleaver sure as h@#% didn't suffer from chronic pain or depression. I guess that is why she was always so happy.

Take care

KRIS
