Hello,i have had to wear masks. But it was because my husband was on a heart and double lung transplant list. He could not afford to get sick,and since I have lupus,and can pick up all kinds of bad junk,we both had to wear a mask. It was no...Fun! people always thought we had something contagest. They would not get on elevaters with us..Stuff like that. I got so tired of people doing things like that ,that I started telling people"the reason we are wearing these things are to protect us from people like you who walk around spreading germs". I only did this to the ones who acted like morons! Alot of people were kind enough to ask in a nice way, why? We would explain and they would be more considerate than those who avoided us. In the summer they got hot, but in the winter it kept the cold air from going down our throats and our faces warmer. We ened up not having to wear them forever since my hubby decided to remove himself from the transplant list. It turned out to be the best decission in the long run. He is doing ok.
I feel for you, but all I can tell you, it is for a good reason and just have fun with it when you run into those people who walk around with only thoughts of themselves. Pull it down and say boo!! And see how fast they move!!

actually my friends like to freak people that stare out by asking how contagious I am. Let me tell you good times. Trust me I have tried to explain that they (other people can make me sick but they dont understand . My brother had the nerve to ask me to baby sit, didnt tell me she had monno till he picked her up. Some nerve I tell ya. Havnt noticed if I have it yet but my fingers are crossed.
