Default Handicapped plaque - really need it

Yes - I too appear to look perfectly normal. People do not realize how much I am suffering with chronic pain . I can only walk a very short distance as I have full body FM and RSD as well. I park in my handicapped space and look like nothing is wrong with me. However, when I get into the grocery store . Wal Mart, etc.I ride in a cart to do my shopping. People with true disabilities do not often appear disabled. If I had a huge cast on my leg or something then I'd appear more legimate to use the handicapped place. Because FM sufferers do not appear to suffer any physical disablility people often look at me twice when use these space. How unfortunate. If they only new my pain level and true disability they would not be judging me unfairly.
