i have arthritis in my hands. i have had it for years, but its getting more severe. i'm 24 years old and i can't open jars, or button my pants and most of the time i can barely open a freakin door. and while the pain is unbearable, its embarrassing. at work yesterday i went to open a can with a manual can opener. and it took me half an hour. and once i managed to get it open, i was in so much pain and my hand was so badly cramped i couldn't not moved it.
i don't really mind the pain. i have an unparalleled pain tolerance. its the fact that i can't do everyday things. i have to ask kevin for help with everything. i don't think he minds helping, but i feel so damn useless. if its this bad now, how will it be in ten years? or twenty? when will i lose the ability to take care of myself?
