How do you feel when SOME ONE else tells others you have CF?

My husband will tell people without my permission. I only tell people on a need to know basis. I don't really like other people knowing. I think it's a personal choice of whether to tell or not but that's my personal opinion and that's not my husband's opinion!

Kelli,

The only question I still have is, did he tell her about your CF, or did he just tell her that you were sick? I guess I'm just curious, because you just said he told her you were sick....

I know I'm not the one with CF, so it might not mean a lot to you, but I've got some health issues that I don't want my husband talking to others about, so I understand from that aspect. It sounds like the talk you had with him went over well for both of you. Hopefully you've made yourself clear and he gets it.

I understand how you feel. I had to deal with this immediately after being diagnosed. I was at Mayo Clinic for my diagnosis (at at 34). We called my parents and told them. I fought it but my wife insisted. By the time we reached home the following day people were coming out of the woodwork to tell me how sorry they were. I was seriously hacked off. If I want someone to know, it's up to me to tell them. I no longer let me mom in on anything related to my health cause I know she will tell everyone she knows and she will make it 10 times worse than it really is. I've had 3 sinus surgeries in the last 20 months and my folks don't know about any of them. Just the way it has to be.

From what I have read Keli, It sounds like this women has a jealous streak not to mention like you said evil minded. I would make light of it all. The more you show her you do not like her, the more she will have an attitude toward you. Ignore her! She sounds like a hungry fox and will go for her prey if she sees it. Do not be her prey. Stop caring about what others say. If she is disrespectful toward you, tell your husband to fire her or give her a warning.

The stress that you can create within your body can probably cause more sob because anxiety is a killer. She is not worth getting angry over.

I am glad that you spoke to your husband about your feelings. There are many people in life who love to gossip. If you show them it does not bother you, then the gossip will stop. Some people are twisted and love to hear other people's problems because they feel better. I have seen this all throughout my life.

I tell my friends to tell anyone they care to about my cf/transplant. It is educational, inspirational and raises awareness for cf and organ donation.
