it is like he just can't believe this is real, he can't see it and i was so active before i got laid off, i had found out i have extremely aggressive RA just 6 months before i got laid off and they had just started me on the meds and there for awhile i thought all the meds were just making me worse, but as i have learned more about this disease i have found that i probably had this for years but i did not go to drs until my husband made me for other reasons. I use to get very depressed due to family issues over my mom before she passed but i was off all the depression and anxiety meds for several years then i started the dr visits and they put me on mild anti depression to help stop smoking which didn't help and now feeling like i might really need them again because of the RA i get so upset because i'm always stiff and sore and can't do so many of the things i use to do and i am not one that is use to asking for help and it really makes me mad when i cant open a bottle of water or do many of the thing i did daily before.

So sorry, I understand. Putting my groceries up is an all day thing for me. Feel like nobody understands except us. I get intimidated a lot from my spouse.

My husband feels the same . He can’t understand how fatigued I get just going out for groceries .put refrigerator stuff away and crawling in bed for a nap !
