it pisses me off when people say they want crohn's so they can lose weight
if they only knew the struggle and pain
people are far too lazy

Yeah, I get that sometimes too, and it's very annoying. Crohn's is such a terrible disease, such a painful disease, and yet I think a lot of people seem to think Crohn's is just like having a stomach ache--or a "bad stomach ache." I've even had people who think they're being understanding say, "well you don't have to tell me, just last week I had a pretty bad stomach ache myself!"katiesue1506 said:I've heard it before...
actually one of my coworkers today was talking to my boss today because my boss has been sick with the Big "D" and the guy goes "yeah won't it be funny when you crap like that all the time everyday because you're old?"
I literally flipped out on him... especially since he knows I have Crohn's Disease. He then proceeded to tell me that it couldn't be that bad, and that "oh you just poop a lot" .... Then I was so mad that I realized how off-the-handle I was about to get and I told him he just didn't understand and I stormed outta the building.
My boss gave him a stern lecture about insensitivity (my boss's mom has Crohn's) and apparently he asked him if he knew what it was like to have to deal with this disease, especially at the age of 18 (I'm 20 now)... and it shut him up.
I know I overreacted, but I'm kinda quick to anger these days due to lots of stresses. Anyhow, I know he doesn't know what it's like... and I just have to accept it. There are things out there that I don't understand and couldn't possibly fathom handling... and I'm sure I'd seem insensitive to those peopel handling those things....
anyways... thats my story for today
-sorry for the hijack!

i hate that!! so many times i've been enjoying watching a comedian on tv, then they go & make a joke about something like that, and suddenly my opinion of them sinks, & i turn the programme off....Agent X20 said:I've never heard this one... just as well really!
I've heard jokes about colostomy bags... which haven't gone down well. If I was a violent person it could give a new meaning to delivering the punch line.
i guess for the same reason people get picked on for wearing glasses, dental braces, following a certain religion, have skin a certain colour..... comes down to ignorance.Babe123 said:why would they joke about a colesctomy bag?
