Two thumbs up for that quote!! I work for a cardiology group and started seeing them for a heart problem I have (my heart rate, while resting, will randomly go well into the mid-to-high 100's like 160, 180) that is very disturbing and debilating--it gets hard to breathe, I get dizzy and generally feel like crap when it happens. I've tried several medications but they lower my blood pressure so much I pass out, I've had surgery, still happens. One day at work, the doctor came into my office, threw a chart down on my desk and walked out. I opened the chart and he had attached a sticky note that said, "she is your age, with sinus tachycardia too. She hikes, runs and is well controlled on medication." I started crying instantly. So that means I should just suck it up and take medication that doesn't work for me? Don't compare me to others! I also have RA and a form of muscular dystrophy--it's not as bad as some of my cousins have it and my sister doesn't understand why I need leg braces if it isn't as bad. I don't know how to get people to understand that it isn't their right to judge or pain or discomfort level. I say on days when the pain is too bad to clean--letitgo!! If there are other house members, it becomes their day to clean!
