Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Everyone, I know I have said this before, but why don't stupid people just keep their mouths shut????? Every time I go out to dinner with a friend of mine, she always asks, are you sure your Dr. is correct?? (No my local Dr and the Panel at Stanford University don't know anything) Are you sure that you can't take the " better " medicines? Again, that's why I have blood tests - not because I like being stuck. You can't possible be as sick as you say you are, you don't look sick! Last night I told her, no I really do enjoy this disease and if I could I would share it with her? She thought I was joking. She cared for someone with RA, and because I only need a cane occasionally, she thinks it is just laziness and because I don't eat right. She thinks I am to thin? I know she is a very toxic person, but I just don't understand why she just can't let it go and accept that I am doing the best I can. We are the only friends they have, and I have known them my whole life, but it really does get irritating. I have volunteered to take her to the Dr. with me, and even shown her my disability papers and test results. Maybe I am being too hard on her, maybe she is have " brain fog " - she is diabetic. I just needed to VENT!!! You try so hard to put up a good front, and then get misunderstood for doing what helps you get up and get going. I really appreciate all of you in this group, because I can say this, and I know that everyone here understands and does not judge. This is just a Tremendous Thank You from me! Carol M.
