It's a shame that people have issues with people who are ill with something they can't see. It's not fun to deal with. It's like the whole 'just get over it' thing. You just want to scream back, 'Don't you think I would, if I could?' Then everything becomes about them and you become 'that' friend.
You're absolutely right, you have to find that point where you are in control of you, you illness and live your life. Great article @lymepoet.
