Thanks for you thoughts! I'm feeling much better today - not so upset about having to prove myself. I guess I should just be thankful that I am able to work and do as much as I do! I'm not sure about the American Act but the UK's disability act covers long term illness as defined by anything that persists for longer than a year. Although I do identify myself as disabled on medical forms etc (just to cover my bases in case anything were to ever happen) I don't have a disabled parking sign or anything. I figure there are individuals who are in much greater need than me.
Happy thoughts to everyone!
