Just wanted to share this experience here as very few people would understand outside this forum. A colleague of mine has displayed arthritic signs for over a year now. She is a young female (under 25) extremely tall, beautful and has a fabulous figure, we happened to be chatting about health (I normally veer away from this topic at all costs as I’m over the confrontation and explaining myself to people who’s business it is not) and she mentioned she was diagnosed with PCOS (quite a share), putting this together with the knowledge of her arthritis I couldn’t help but blurt out of frustration ‘what’s your diet like?’.
She responded ‘oh it’s not that, I eat better than anyone else in here; lots of fruit, low fat, bread, mostly vegetarian…’
My heart just sank, I bit back from going into a tirade and simply said ‘maybe you could look at other women who’ve experienced this and some different approaches?’ as I HATE it when other people are pass remarkable on my diet and lifestyle or feel it’s ok to pass comment on your health.
I’m not really looking for advice, just needed a place to rant. This poor girl’s issues must be so aggravated by her diet and so much could be solved with a different approach, but it’s certainly not my place to say it. Very frustrating.
Cheers
