CFS/ME and owning horses!

This is so true about the "invisible illness". People just don't understand how you can be so well one day, and so unwell the next. I think I come across as lazy and disinterested. It's hard to explain the extent of the fatigue, it is beyond being "a bit tired", and people can't understand. Regarding the pain of RA, I read that a woman had likened it to childbirth, but worse because she knew that the childbirth pain would go away within a few hours, and it was also acceptable to sob, scream and swear with labour pains, whereas with the RA etc, nobody can see anything wrong.

However, I can't see the day when I will get rid of my ponies, I get so much pleasure from them.
