I feel so much for the people in the videos - being told it was all in the head and having people say mean things about them. If only people in general were more compassionate...

Hopefully others with the condition will read this and realise they are not alone which I think can be a huge obstacle.<br />Mr T has Crohns and it annoys me that people question his occasionally needing to use a toilet for those with a disability when he (I quote) looks so 'normal'.<br /><br /><br /><br />Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-56661470841023136992016-10-04T00:31:41.332-06:002016-10-04T00:31:41.332-06:00I'm really glad you shared, Melissa!

Thanks so much for sharing. ...This is a great post. Thanks so much for sharing. I didn't know about this condition before you mentioned it. There are so many conditions that are out there and so many people know nothing about them. I know how it feels to be one of those people who look healthy and people don't believe there are issues. I have an autoimmune condition. I've had people make comments about "how can you be tired, you don't have kids". I try to educate people that just because you look healthy, doesn't mean you're actually healthy. It is always best to educate people, because most of the time they just don't realize that what they are saying is hurtful. I know it isn't always easy. I can't always do it, but I try, when I'm able and feel up to it. I can understand when it is hard for people too. I'm glad you're sharing. It sounds like your condition is mostly under control at the moment. I hope it stays that way. :-) Have a great week. <br /><br />Melanie @ <a href="http://www.hotlistens.com/" rel="nofollow">Hot Listens</a> & <a href="http://rabidreads.ca/category/reviews/by-reviewer/melanie" rel="nofollow">Rabid Reads</a>Melanie (@AudiobookMel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12682752959290631075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-26666946814731204472016-10-03T12:41:34.542-06:002016-10-03T12:41:34.542-06:00thanks for the post.
