Do you ever get tired of complaining? [View all]

How are you doing?
- I dunno
- a little achey
- pretty tired
- kinda nauseous
- like shit

Do you ever get tired of complaining (even being honest) when people ask how you're doing? I've been nauseous pretty consistently for two weeks now and I'm tired of talking about it. I know there's a genuine concern for my well being, but nothing's changed since the last time you asked. I'm still sick. I might always be sick, I'm afraid.

I'm afraid I'll become a bore to my wife and close family. At least I look better and don't get the "wow, you look pretty bad" remarks anymore. I guess it's a step.

Do any of you get tired of complaining? Do you get scared that it'll drive people away?

Er, just one of those days that make up a "Chronic's" existence.
