As I prepare for tomorrow’s post and ponder the awareness hype, I keep wondering if we are doing the right thing. And, to be honest, I’m not convinced we are.
I’m not convinced we are doing the right things, for the right reasons. In fact, I worry we are missing the point.
I know worrying usually proves worthless. And I hope this is no different.
No matter what, I thank you for your support and encouragement. Thank you for helping me feel human. Thank you for understanding the bizarre things only fibrofolks can. Thank you for challenging me to push my limits and to recognize when I need assistance.
G’night! I can’t wait to read what you have to share.
Can you elaborate on your doubts? I think I know what you’re saying. Sometimes those tidbits that get public attention are misunderstood, as with some of those Lyrica ads, or many of the news stories that focus on only the parts that will get ratings. I am doing what I can to help the people who know me understand that I have this crazy disease, but they rarely see the symptoms I deal with. They only know me at my best or at least on okay days.
I am grateful to be able to see through this obstacle that there are people out there who mustn’t be lumped in with the masses who seem to want to misunderstand at every turn. Thank you for addressing issues like this.
