Thanks GIT. I'm honestly better off than others that I know. I can usually function enough to take care of myself and the dog. My biggest problem is fatigue and brain fog. The aches and pains that are on a daily basis I can deal with, it's more the ones after I do too much that get me laid up, though again I can at least get around the house. My family really does try to get it. It's just like you said, some people have a hard time understanding when they don't have to deal with it. I honestly don't know how much is my paranoia that they are just being nice, and how much they truly don't understand. As for being around the kids, maybe now you understand why I wouldn't mind kid-free restaurants, stores, etc. I don't want kids to stop being kids, they talk, chatter, laugh, baby-scream (which is cute sometimes), etc. However, I could handle being out much easier some days if there weren't kids around. It's just an overload. And I appreciate the sympathy. Honestly, it was more about venting and trying to show people a different way of understanding things. People make blanket judgements about people who are overweight, unemployed, on food stamps and buying junk food, etc. I've tried to do the what if, for instance, the weight problem could be a medical problem. I'm usually told that yes, but it's only a small percentage. That may well be, but how do you know if the person that is being judged is in that percentage or not? How do you think they feel hearing that they are lazy and just need to get up and excersize. Or that they must be too lazy or stupid to get a job, when they may have restrictions. Well, you get the picture.
