I was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis. How do I speak with my wife about it?

I have trouble explaing to my wife, who by the way is a RN about how it is affecting me. When I tell her I am having a flare or that I am exhausted, she has nothing to say. I guess it's because I have had it so long that it doesn't affect her anymore. Do you have a suggestion as to how I can approach her with how I feel or is there a website that explains more about what I am going through?
