Sometimes it's no biggy for me to carry stuff, since (like you so astutely pointed out) i do want to keep doing as much as i can--BUT, if i'm already tired/sore, it's nice to know i can count on you to check on that! ;-)<BR/><BR/>(Oh--and do you recognize the beautiful rose photo? That's from my new rosebush in the back--i almost feel like a real gardener!)juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354144831826180457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29522895.post-1150056654616000612006-06-11T13:10:00.000-07:002006-06-11T13:10:00.000-07:00hello neighbor, It's excellent that you are blogg...hello neighbor, It's excellent that you are blogging. I am delighted to read! <BR/>I've been thinking about the other day when we all went grocery shopping together. I'm wondering about how you felt about me asking to help you with the big heavy items.<BR/> The reason I wonder is that, as a person with fibromyalgia (I only know how to spell that because it's your title), I feel like you'd want to do many things yourself (everything you can possibly do, I imagine). And me asking to help you makes your "interruption" 1. more public, and 2. more aware of your pain to you.<BR/> Here's my question then, would you rather someone ask to help you, knowing you have fibromyalgia, or would you rather do it yourself and ask for the help when you feel you need it?<BR/><BR/>I also wonder how other peoples with fibromyalgia, or other "interruptions" with similar symptoms like chronic fatige syndrome, feel about this. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm??equichick8https://www.blogger.com/profile/13198887794588114065noreply@blogger.com
