My colleague has RA. She works full-time and has several children. She is on a lot of medication, including a monthly injection. We always know when her jab is due, she looks awful for the few days beforehand, we can tell that she's in pain.
She rarely misses a day at work, she never speaks about it, I only know because I asked one day if she was ok, she looked so poorly. She's just moved house, she helps to look after her parents and in-laws, she gets on with her life and she always looks amazing, she's clean, groomed and gorgeous.
She has numerous hospital and GP appointments, she also caught Covid last year, as did 3 of her children. She still came back to work as soon as she was able, because she is a grafter, who didn't want to let her patients and colleagues down.
If Alice really has RA, then I do feel sorry for her, it's an awful condition. But if she's just using it as an excuse to loaf around, then she's a scumbag. And while Covid is horrid, isn't lying around on the sofa feeling like death, Alice's normal state on most days?
