I am a 52 year old woman who enjoys gardening, photography, birdwatching, and my cats. I'm married, thankfully, to a wonderful, understanding man. I have recently been coming head to head with the hard limits this disease has placed on my hobbies and full time job. I think I had not really admitted the limits to myself...the truth has been devastating to my usually optimistic outlook on the remainder of my life. I hate going to doctors anymore for anything other than drug refills. Not such a sunny disposition anymore, I feel sorry for my husband.
