Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi , We have that problem in the UK as well. Able bodied people parking in disabled places. It is very annoying. I try not to judge at first glance though coz a lot of disabilities are invisible and just because they don't have a mobility aid doesn't mean to say they're not disabled. However, I know of the sort you mean when its obvious they don't have a disability and they are using up a place that a disabled person might really need.

I feel kinda silly because this is a disease people cant see and probably will think I'm just fat and lazy. I feel like I need to wear a sign. I HAVE RHEUMATIOD ARTHRITIS !!! Sad but thats how I feel sometimes. I have a handicap parking sign and I feel strange using it too. Sometimes I look at young people pulling up to a handicap parking spot with their music blaring and looking normal and wonder myself why they are parking there when they seem like they are fine.

Deposits around my joints irritate the tendons and I feel the ache in the muscles attached to the tendons....but it's not a body ache like you've described......... wrote: Please let me know if these are normal symptoms of RA.

Check it out. Or maybe you could rent one from some rental company for just a couple of days? Stay in the know. Pulse on the new .com. Check it out.
