    I’m very sorry that happened to you. My problem was with your phrasing. As I’m sure you know: eating better, working out, and sleeping more did not make your condition worse. I interpreted that as what you claimed.

    You were a victim of malpractice and negligence, not living a more healthy life.

      Yeah, I know that. I just bristle at the thought of being told to lose weight instead of actually getting the help I needed. I don’t ACTUALLY think that stuff made me worse off. It was mostly the look on the doctor’s face when I told him I WAS working out and eating better, and he laughed in my face because I was gaining weight. Too bad I was retaining fluids… There’s a lot more to the story, but I don’t care to get into it.

      Can you tell I’m a bit salty? Sorry for the trauma dump.

        I cannot even fathom what you’ve been through. There is no need to apologize.

        If you want to share more, I’ll listen.
