Do they know what you suffer from? For me sometimes it is just better to say I am having health issues that don't allow me to do X for now.
The worst nags are all coworkers , they are with me 8 hours a day, 5 days a week..they know. I have so many intolerances and am extremely sensitive to gluten, (the tiniest cross contamination makes me ill for weeks). I will not eat away from my own kitchen, and still...can you try this, you want me to get you that, how about a drink (I haven't been able to drink alcohol for 10 yrs....Maybe they think they are being considerate, but they are only doing it for themselves. It's much more considerate of me to just leave me alone, let me enjoy what is going on around me, and do not pressure me.

I was never a dancer before I couldn't dance..I have always been a watcher. I love to watch people!

It's nice to be in a crowd that understands.

Echoes, you didn't hurt anything did you, no breaks? By the way, I love your dog pic!

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
