What don't you tell your doctor about how you manage pain?
I manage my pain by either just dealing with it and letting it hurt, or taking medication or putting a heating pad on it, more likely the heating pad.

What could George Bush do personally to make the lives of arthritics better?
George Bush really couldn't do a thing about it I guess... I mean I know he is the President but it's hard for him to really make our lives better, I guess, but who knows?

What could the Arthritis Foundation do?
Probably what they have been doing for years now cuz they are the specialist people.

Have you ever used your arthritis to gain an unfair advantage?
Well, hmm... I got out of 4 years of PE does that count? I mean the doctor told me not to but I was really happy.

Plus at church I got out vacuuming cuz of it.

When's the last time you felt humiliated because of your arthritis?
I never really felt humiliated because of it.
