Don't you love it when everything gets blamed on your diagnosis ie: lupus, thyroid, fibro, colitis, arthritis, raynauds (these are my conditions) I mean you could have a hang nail or your eye makeup doesn't look as good as you did it yesterday, "OH...it must be your lupus [email protected]@##??!!hno: It used to make me mad now I just look at them like they are crazy when in fact they think I'm the one whos nuts Who knows maybe I am!!:lol: Anyway it use to be that my husband a true Texan use to introduce me to others as this is my wife Laura she is from NY, they would be like Oh now we understand why she is the way she is:yes: BUT NOW I am introduced as Laura she is on medication:? As if that explains who I am, now I am known as Laura the one with the disease and on medicine instead of the person I think I am!! Anyway I just thought it was funny how everything is blamed on it I know that 8 xs out of 10 it is the disease that is the culprit but then I think in terms of the doctors that things get overlooked just because they think they have already figured out whats wronge with you
Anyone else feel this way?:?
