@onetowatchst I certainly understand your not being able get your head around your diagnosis. I have a different AD diagnosis and I just couldn’t accept it. I think a few years went be before I admitted it to myself. And, yes, you appear healthy so no one knows what’s going on. Whenever I went for walks, I was sure everyone thought I looked drunk. Now, I just say “who cares what people think!” I also wear a pin that says ‘fighting invisible diseases’. 🙂
It’s great that you are being active! I wonder if warm water exercises would help by reducing the stress on your joints.
Can you ask your doctor about better pain management? Pain just makes everything else so difficult!
