Star,
My mother has used one similar to this one on me.
Mom- now, you've learned to become sick, this is not how I want you to live, and you need to try and forget you have this sickness, move on and you'll see you will get better.
I'm sorry, but how do you "learn to be sick"? I have not been well since I was dx, I do the best I can. I am a stay at home mom (as docs deemed me too sick to work), my son is autistic, I take college classes online and have a preteen daughter! When did I have time to learn to be sick!?
So star I know how you feel with this one, we fight everyday especially the bad days and we're not fighting?! ARRGHH lol
The other one that I know WE are ALL sick of, "I'd take your guts for a month to be as thin as you" (said by my very overweight friend) my response- if I could give it to you and take all of the weight you ever wanted to lose I would gladly do it, but I really think that after a day maybe two you would want to trade back!
But I always chuckle when I get the line "my cousin's sister's boyfriends aunt has that", I wonder do those people stop others with broken bones to tell them they know someone who broke a bone too? lol
LOL
Thanks for the thread!
