Yeah I agree with Tammy's comment...Hi Megan! :)<br />Yeah I agree with Tammy's comment above. I'd like to add also that many doctors/rheumatologists have also done this to me...show me graphs and statistics of how I'm doing, rather than just hear me for how I'm feeling. I don't understand it..it's like they don't believe you unless they see the numbers. Sometimes I feel like showing them my scars (from ops) - that is the only solid proof I have for them, to say that I've been and still go through a lot of pain. I love how you find music therapeutic for you! Now that I think about it, I think I use music (my Ipod) a lot when I'm in pain.<br />I was wondering if you would be interested in having a piece of your work (a blog post perhaps) published in a zine? I'm doing it as a project for college and it's an attempt on my behalf to collaborate short stories from others who have RA/JRA. I hope to strengthen the community by developing this zine, but I need people to contribute, so that I have content to publish! :) If you are interested, please visit my blog and look under the post labelled "Attention all Arthritis bloggers..opportunity to have your words published in a zine."<br />Hope to hear from you soon and hope that you are feeling better soon too!!!<br />Regards,<br />Lauretta :)Laurettahttp://kidsgetarthritistoo.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899516182258379707.post-56643309740753770842011-04-25T06:42:10.725-07:002011-04-25T06:42:10.725-07:00Ah yes, the good ole "expectation meter"...Ah yes, the good ole "expectation meter". I hate that bugger. Now on the doctor's comment about you NOT flaring. That is not for his interpertation solely. You can flare and not have drastic numbers to back you up. It sounds to me you have an Old School Doc?? maybe I'm reading it wrong. You are the best judge of your body and don't let anyone, ANYONE tell you different. <br /><br />Glad I found you.<br />Gentle hugs.<br />TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
