I am posting in the IBS FORUM because that's what I'm dealing with. I always come into work early because I like to bs with the boys early in the morning. So. We're having our discussion this morning and one of the guys said he had a late night last night because him and his wife were out with friends and found out their female friend has stomach C.
Well that kind of set me off because I am always dealing with stomach and bowel issues. This guy who is telling the story is also a C survivor so after I blow up about not telling me these things he immediately starts putting my mind At ease explaining that if I had anything wrong I would know it.
Anyways it seems like in the last couple of years that is all I've heard about is people I know getting the diagnosis and people seem to be drawn to tell me about someone they know who has gotten diagnosed or has died from this stupid disease.
I seem to be a lightening rod for people that want to share these bits of news. Does anyone else deal with this? Maybe I have just become hypersensitive about it because it always seems to be I the back of my mind.
After doing a little soul searching I guess I have come to the conclusion that this has come from an incident when I was about 7-8 years old. My Grandma died of C and it must have left this fear in me.
Anyways I have started to ramble. Just wondering if anyone else has these well meaning friends that seem unable to keep their mouths shut about every tragedy they know about
