gbsb- many people have posted that it can be useful to wear a sling or other assistive device in public. It can do a few things- 1, it can help you rememebr not to overextend yourself. 2, it offers a visual clue to others that something isn't quite right.

The other thing is some advice that many have offered previously in other threads, and that my therapist offered straight to me which is that how you present yourself is very important. I wish I could say more but my dragon is acting uip and the baby is crying...grrr...
I'll be back.
keep your chin up.
