Default Marie - I'm new, please read

I am new here. I have been reading but i think today is the first time posted.

I want your opinions. Marie said she has fibromyalgia. So do I. And I have handicap tag in my car. Dr. filled out the paperwork for me to get my SSD but I haven't done it.

Along with the severe pain (you sometimes hurt everywhere even when you can't move) you are too tired to move, you have bad tummy problems, depression anxiety and so much more.

My dog is certified as a service animal. He goes nearly everywhere I go. (Yorkie) Not only can he pick up objects that I drop, but he can bring me my medicine. As far as going out with me, besides those two things, he gets me out of very embarrasing situations. Irritable bowel can make you have to leave right then. Some people yak and yak or say they will go to the public restroom with you. (No thank you). I can give my dog a finger signal and he will whine until I leave - no more getting caught in that situation. Also, the depression, anxiety and panic attacks come out of nowhere. You can't predict when you are going to have to call your family to come to whatever store you are in - trapped with fear. But with service animal, he can calm me down, and again I can depend on him.

Are you going to be upset with me now? I read some other people don't think a yorkie can do this, but mine does.
