They've known me for years, obviously, but if i'm too ill to go anywhere with them, they pout at me. I'm so sorry that i can't control this terrible illness. Then again, scratch that. Why the heck should i have to apologize for being seriously ill? I shouldn't. People look at me like it's an excuse not to do anything or go places. Well if only it was. They've been good at trying to help me through it, so i can't be too mean about them. Honestly though, if people can't stand the fact, then why are they still in my life? And Dr's can be so ignorant about it. They just throw yet another medication my way. "This really works". No, it doesn't. Laxatives literally DO NOT do what they say on the box. Ho hum ;(
