Bad disease + sense of humor = Dealing with it

Being able to laugh at yourself and your situation keeps you from depression. Trust me it's a low that's hard to come back from. If you make others feel they need to walk on eggshells around you, they won't want to be around you.

When you have a serious illness having a sense of humor is KEY. I know this from experience. My hubby and I make jokes constantly about me needing things like a handicapped placard, a bath bench, and especially how even through all the pains of fibromyalgia I can keep a straight face but start crying at my hair going prematurely grey.

'Hon, you got your tough girl britches on today or do you need to park in the broke [female dog] parking?"

There are days that are no joke and I don't tolerate it at all, but those days are few and far between. Today (and yesterday as well) happen to be those no joke days but I can still have the sense of humor to make this post.

That's what I'm saying, how did mrjamin know that joke were ok without asking. I'm not going on a crusade about this I was just worried that jokes, especially that kind, would no be appreciated.

EXACTLY!!! My grandma has Schleroderma and that was what life was like for everyone in the family. She lived in the trailer house that is on my parents property and it was MISERABLE!!!!

Bueno player first I am capable and not afraid to tell people when/if they cross a line, I thought that the way I started the thread was with a light mood so jokes were obviously ok. If I'm in no mood at all for jokes I just stay offline. To be quite honest your the one who's is making the thread more of a drag right now. Just let it go alright.

Well, he demonstrated a working knowledge of social skills and his personal experiences with Homestar to come to the conclusion that that joke would be taken well. Also holy [m'kay] work on that grammar because I can barely type through my hands trying to rip my eyes out of their sockets. Jesus christ you switched tenses in the middle of one sentence how do you even DO that? [m'kay] hell.
