I know what you mean.
I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.
It is a very painful disorder.
It cannot be detected by looking at me.
I wouldn’t wish what I have on anyone, but I do wish folks wouldn’t be so judgmental.
You’re obviously a much nicer person than I am.
I’ve yelled “Whattaya want me to do? Hunch over and drag a leg like Quasimodo?”.
[very few people get that reference...public school system, I reckon]
;]
I do wish I could help you with your pain.
One of my best friends has MS.
90% of the time, anybody who’d tangle with her would be *very* sorry...but the other 10%, she’s totally non-functional, both mentally and physically.
She actually hauled a CA cop to his station to put in a formal complaint against him because he argued with her for parking in a H space when she “looked fine”.
CA laws state that a handicap vehicle can park *anywhere* if the spaces are all full and by God, she was gonna make sure he never made that mistake again.
She would up going around the various PDs educating the other LEOs on handicap parking rights at the PDs request.
