Concur, even doctors are idiots too, like my liver doctor. He said like you look healthy so you are ok now??
I have one friend who truly understands, but only because she has been through her own personal hell. She was picked up and dropped over a balcony at a party in college and now she is a paraplegic with multiple finger amputations and both legs below the knee. She is the ONLY one who has asked me "How do you feel about all this?" "Are you doing okay?" You know, when I found out I had to get the fistula and begin the evaluation. I love her dearly anyway, but even more just for that!!!!
It doesn't matter how much you try to inform anyone---they really don't listen. My sister saw a t-shirt that said "this disease must be working for me because everyone keeps telling me how good I look!"

My answer is always the same "looks can be deceiving". Then I feel like punching them in the kisser! My personality has changed with dialysis.
When people say I look good.... I'm thinking to myself..... Compaired to what?
