Liz,

OMG, sometimes when I read your posts it's as if I wrote them myself! I

can't tell you how many times I've had people (and I'm sure they think they

are helping) say that to me!!! I am at a loss as to how to answer these

people! It seems to just stress me out and drain my energy. I have to

admit, I almost dodge the whole topic because I don't want to deal with the

uninformed (unintentionally mean) ways that people respond to hearing about my

illness...

If anyone out there has found a graceful way to respond without sounding

like a crab, I'd love to hear it!
