Arthritis Today did a terrific article on saying no awhile back. It pointed out that many of us with chronic illness have a hard time saying no because we want to keep up with our peers and end up taking on more than we should to try and seem " normal. " Naturally, I can't find the article online, but the basic premise is that there are lots of polite ways to say no without feeling like the bad guy. -Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What my husband finds disturbing is they TRIED to get me to say no and I STILL insisted! My hip dislocated last night. Don had to help me get it back in. Then today I took him to the doctor's office for a follow up from the hospital stay and getting out of the car it popped out again bad enough he had to help me get it back in. The doctor asked me if I was OK at the end of his visit (she said I'm pale and noticed me limping). She wants me back in for an xray tomorrow. I'm going to turn into a ball of radioctive material if I get too many more xrays! Peggikaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Well, I would love to be able to tell you that you should learn your lesson from this experience, but I am one of those people who also read the article and ignored it. I personally find that when someone tells me to take it easy and not to strain myself I become even MORE determined to do whatever it is because I rebel against anyone setting my limits for me. That's a hard habit to break. I sympathize with you and hope that you and I both can learn to say no. -Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I sure have trouble with that one. I think that I am being so careful and then pops up some event that I participate in. Recently, we had a party here for my partner's b-day and for halloween. I was sooooo wiped out cause I kept getting up to help. i can't seem to stay put while being a host. A cople of times I actually went to hide so I could rest, LOL. -Nanette Naturally, I can't find the article online, but > > the basic premise is that there are lots of polite ways to say no without > > feeling like the bad guy. > > > > > > UMMMMmm I read the article. > What my husband finds disturbing is they TRIED to get me to say no and I > STILL insisted! > > My hip dislocated last night.
