Because they are ignorant.

People find it hard to understand an illness when they can't see the symptoms. I don't think you can fully understand it unless you have been thru it.

It makes me angry too, when people make irresponsible comments like that - but I wouldn't wish this illness on them.

Don't be angry too long, think about something nice that someone has said to you recently or you have read - don't let it get to you too much.

Peace, x
