Yes I agree Michael. Even my family have no real understanding. I don't even complain to my husband any more. We just 'put up'. That's the great thing about...
Mandy and Michael: I completely agree. I, too, am not fused and at present and feeling pretty well because of Enbrel, and don't struggle with body image...
