You need to take more of an interest in your own welfare. Too often you suffer in silence until your symptoms immobilize you completely. It may be commendable that you don't want to worry your family, but if an illness is serious, the sooner you get medical attention the better. Often your ailments are not readily identified by your outward appearance and demeanor. Problems with your back or kidneys are typical areas of concern. Once you admit to being sick you enjoy the attention and care of well-wishers.
