Questions you can ask....

I'm sure you've heard some pretty insensitive questions along the way...I know I have...and as much as I do encourage someone to ask me questions...there are some good ones to ask and there are some not so good questions to ask.

When I saw this...I thought the questions were pretty good...they can open the lines of communication with those around us and I think too that they encourage an understanding of those asking.

The next time someone asks you questions...do your best to answer them.
If someone you know and love lives with an chronic illness...ask them some of these questions and truly listen to their answers.

Questions are not a bad thing and we shouldn't hide from answering them either, and if we want others to understand...well then we need to learn how to talk about what we go through each day. We can break down the barriers of communication and stigma...but we need each other to do it.

Open the lines of communication with those in your life and start talking to one another. 

P.S. if I could challenge you to do one thing...ask yourself these questions too and see what you might learn about yourself...your illness and how it affects those around you. Yes it is your illness...but you are not the only one it impacts. 

take good care of you and each other please
