Why Don't You Listen About My Addison's Disease?

Oh, for heaven’s sake! Do you really think I haven’t tried every possible remedy for my Addison’s Disease? I’ve spent years getting my health stable, and here comes someone new trying to unravel the progress I’ve made. Honestly, it’s exhausting to have to defend the very treatment plan that has finally brought me some relief. You know, a little understanding and trust in my judgment would go a long way.

Now listen here, I’ve been through the ringer with this condition. It’s not like I haven’t done my homework or haven’t been diligent about my health. Endless tests, countless consultations, all to reach a state of equilibrium. And now that I’m finally in a good spot, the last thing I need is someone coming in and telling me to start from scratch. Trust me, dear, I know what’s best for my body.

Let me be clear: I’ve fought tooth and nail to get to this place of stability. I don’t need unnecessary tests or changes just because someone new has a different perspective. It’s not that I don’t appreciate their input, but my health journey is unique and not to be dismissed lightly. So, next time, try listening to the patient who’s lived with this condition day in and day out. That’s all I ask.
