Sometimes people really mean well, even when they say dumb things....... I have had so many ppl say such insane things to me, like once when I was getting a gastrographen enema laying on a freezing cold table the tech told me " You are lucky to be alive, you really should be dead by now" Somehow with a tube up my butt pouring stuff inside of me I didn't feel so lucky..
I have to believe she meant well..but still so rude.....
So many ppl don't have a clue what Cystic Fibrosis is and in all fairness, most people have no reason to know, just like all the other diseases that people have that we don't know about... So many people have never heard of addison's disease and they also tell me they were cured by just stopping the steroids.. which would kill me in a few days if I did that.,.
Anyway... people are people and they are never going to change.. Me included...
Sorry you got so frustrated.
