[quote=Anonymous]I'm the vagina poster.  You could start opening up to people by sending out an email to like the half dozen (or two, whatever) people you're closest with that says something like:

"You may have noticed I haven't been around and have been cancelling a lot last minute lately. It's not because I found a newer, cooler group to hang out with, it's because I'm sick. I've been embarrassed to tell you because, like fibromyalga and other auto immune illnesses, this one has symptoms that are hard for people to see, and I am worried about people's reactions. But the truth is anemia and arthritis have seriously been kicking my ass lately. And that doesn't even account for the whole "having a newborn" thing.  I don't tell you this so you'll send flowers, candy or strippers although feel free, but so you'll know what's going on with me, and hopefully will be able to find the patience to put up with these abrupt cancellations and my overall sticking close to home. I've only recently been diagnosed, and until weaning is complete many medications to treat my symptoms are on hold. I love and miss you guys."

Figure out something much shorter for when running into people at the grocery store, but that should give you a jumping off point. [/quote]
