Seriously?!

I just have to say, why is it that people think that autoimmune disorders are temporary?
People, seeing me in pain, will say, "I didn't realize anything was wrong today?"
Seriously? Yes, some days are worse than others. But it's not something that comes an goes. At least, not for me.
Some days, I'm a useless lump. Some days I can function. That's about it. Plain an simple.
If you don't believe me, do some research. Look at my documentation from my doctor's office. Look at my test results. Obviously, I'm not making this up. It's not fun for me. I don't like being this way. I don't like feeling like shit all the time. But I do. It's part of me now, and I have learned to embrace it and learn from it. It doesn't make me a bad person, it just means I have limitations and I have to take much better care of myself.
That's my vent for the night.
Love me or hate me. This is who I am. I am more than a diagnosis.
