I don't usually complain about doctors or people telling me I "look good", but this kind of insulted me a little.
I saw my rheumy Friday for my osteoarthritis and fibro. We always bring up the MS since it seems to affect everything else. He told me I must have a relatively benign course of MS since I seem to be in pretty good shape. Ok.. I'm grateful that I am walking. But, he happened to see me on a somewhat good day. He isn't around for all the terrible. life-stopping days where I have constant pain, dizziness, fatigue etc etc.
This is always the way when you go see a doctor for a regular appointment. You're always in better shape that day so the doctor questions if you even have a disease. My neuro ( is an idiot ) but she has taken me off the meds because they are not doing any good any more. She is not very good with MS, but she does recognize some things as being hopeless. I've actually been in denial for 14 years. But then those days hit when there is no doubt.
I don't let the people around me get to me with their questions and suggestions. But when a doctor says something kind of insensitive it does bother me a little.
