Since my diagnosis I have had remarks and rumours such as i have an eating disorder to being pregnant. All that stuff said i took in my stride (after a couple of tears).
Yesterday took it to a whole new level. At work a volunteer was asking if i was ok as i had to sit down for 5 minutes. After explaining that i had a chronic stomach disease, easier than explaining everything, the guy took several steps back and asked should i be at work incase everybody catches it. Seriously!?
I couldn't believe this actually happened. I decided that instead of being upset at him i went up and hugged him saying 'well if you can catch it you have now got it too. Good luck'. And walked away.
