Grrrrr! I'm not sick, I'm disabled. There's a difference! I know I'm probably over reacting, but grrrr!

There is a difference (and I've not read a.p lately, so I don't know the context), but there's also an overlap and some fuzzy lines.If it gets worse over time at an unpredictable rate, but is mostly not too bad yet, and is not communicable, am I "sick", "disabled", both, or neither? I have no answer, only the question.

Yep it can be fuzzy and there is overlap. I am disabled and I've been ill. This time I'm basically objecting to the notion that disabled = unhealthy.

Ah, that concept I, too, object to.
