Its really unfair. Especially if you cry easily- joy makes me tear up just as much as pain and I know people do not take me seriously sometimes.

I just had this happen at the doctor’s. He said to my and my h’s face, that the last time he saw me, I was a “basket case”. He is a typical machismo guy and I could see his attitude toward me was strange, as I was a hysterical patient at the last appointment; which I was as the shyt hit the fan with my skeletal system. Grrrrrrrr
