Thanks for putting this up. People just don't understand how sick I am and how awful I feel most days. Too much is expected of me at times. I should get this booklet.

Man, I always get my hackles raised when I read stuff like that (and especially when I hear it!) Of course, it's always good to hear that in the hospital! Always nice to hear a doctor say, "Why are you here?! But you're young! And UNDERweight!" How can we expect the general public to understand when you have those who supposedly know better who are just (if not more) ignorant?! Thanks for posting that, though.

well, at least youre good looking enough to hear that. all i ever got, from a doctor even, was that i was much too young to be that sick. that was when i was in my 20's & 30's & then from the ancient age of 30 onward all i then heard was that i should resign myself to the fact that i was getting older. can you believe that noise, talk about a double-edged cant win for losing sword. all that & the pain, too. hugs from sounding & looking good me, all through the years, ha ha, hb deb

Yeppers, that was it for me too, that is until I got so old, grey and misshapen that people looked on me with sympathy enough to open a door for me than I can open for myself. I am however thankful they care enough to do that and hope they will do it for others that are not so obviously impaired. As an alcoholic I spent time in a facility that also took care of other folks with mental problems, believe me that some who looked so well on the outside were suffering greatly on the inside. So a person is between the devil and the deep blue sea, perhaps the solution is to wither into a simulacrum of someone who is in pain and torture. But having to look at onself in the mirror is punishment in itself.
