I'm sorry to hear how bad you are feeling. I wish I could be there to somehow help you, or try to help you.

I generally hide my pain very well, too. It can surprise people when they find out how much pain I can have some days. I feel for you, and hope things improve even the slightest bit to help. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Hamstergirl}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

What you say that "...The law does not always protect you." is so true! I have seen it with my own chondromalacia/arthritis, and having a disability of any sort and work restrictions does indeed give you rights, but those rights are not always protected. Sometimes I think the government provides more like general guidelines, instead of laws.

By the way, I have always loved the quote on your posts!
