Try a bit of psychology on them. Next time you're feeling bad see if you can
'bump into' them and put on your bestest "I'm really knackered, me" look (I
forget what's wrong with you, sorry) and ask them if they'll help you with
something fairly trivial - even if it's just opening a jar [just searched
the group... you have joint problems, amongst other things? Opening a jar
looks perfect - no bother for them but makes you look quite needy. If you
can put up with that then it looks like a goer] .

People are generally good and can't help but to help someone in distress.
The more grateful you seem for their assistance the more pleased they'll be
that they were able to help. Probably. That's the theory anyway. They might
even ask about your health problems, or you can volunteer it, then perhaps
they'll be more understanding.
