The top ten worst suggestions commonly given to someone with a chronic illness

Jeg fant nok en morsom opplisting med "velmenende råd" man ofte får når man har en kronisk sykdom - denne var det en bruker inne på den norske SLE-fb-siden, som delte. Nok en gang med så mye sannhet i seg, tror det fleste av oss kan kjenne oss igjen her - så denne måtte jeg bare dele videre. ;)

Nå må jeg også legge til, at de fleste av oss med kronisk sykdom, vet og skjønner at disse rådene er gitt velmenende. Men hver og en som ønsker å gi råd og tips, må også skjønne, at de er langt fra de eneste som kommer med råd og tips, det kan bli litt slitsomt å høre det samme fra 10 stk, ut fra hva de har lest om i et ukeblad, eller hørt om via onkelen, til tanta, til naboen til søskenbarnet til ei på jobb osv... ;)


Så her er litt humor, ispedd en dose alvor;

The top ten worst suggestions commonly given to someone with a chronic illness:


 1)  Have you tried holistic options? (many. I’ll bring it back up with my doctor on my next visit, thanks.)

2)  Could it be your stress? (My opinion is, it is my illness. I’ll bring it up with my doctor though, thanks.)

3)  Could it have to do with the altitude? (I’ll bring it up with my doctor…thanks.)

4)  I read in {insert any generic magazine here} about a new medication. Have you heard about it? (I was on it when it came out 17 years ago. but I’ll bring it up with my doctor. thank you.)

5)  Have you thought about being in a trial study? (I’ll ask my doctor. thanks?)

6)  WOW. If I were you, I don’t know what I would do. I might just kill myself. (Thanks?)

7)  Have they found what is causing the problem? (no. my doctor is an idiot. I’ll remind him, thanks!)

8)  Have you tried hypnosis? (I’m still sick, but when the phone rings I bark like a dog.)
 
9)  Have you googled your illness? (….no! thanks!)

10) Have you ever thought you were getting sick because you haven’t wrapped your house in aluminum foil because, you know, the aliens have been bugging our houses for the past 30 years and in some cases, making people really sick. I read on…..gee I lost the web site. but it’s true! I heard it from Sally’s cousin’s sister-in- law. And then every time you use deodorant you would think you would be warding off these bugging rays, but it still makes it worse, so you are not being pro-active to your health by wearing that deodorant. I can’t believe you! If you wanted to get better you would stop wearing deodorant..(voice gets fainter and fainter the further you just walk away.) THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
