Thankfully I have had the computer to do research! I really had no idea at how much the thyroid affects the entire body, down to the smallest of things. I also had no idea at how many doctors really don't have a clue not only about the thyroid but everything surrounding it and then some. The saying really is true that you have to be your own advocate!

Thor's Human Donating Member | I think one thing is very clear - obviously, this woman has no class, and that can mean only one thing. She doesn't have a yorkie! So really, who is worse off here?

| You handled that really well. Dont feel bad. How old are you? Im soon to be 50 and have always been a size 3 with a 24 inch waist and 115 lbs. Well this year I gained 30lbs in one month. My eating habits never change, I dont eat meat and it going on 25 years. My bra size was an A now Im in a D. I work with 95% men and they are very blunt and can say some hurtful things. I believe its my age. Lissette |

| In my experience, Germans are very blunt and to the point. I think it's a cultural thing. |

| Shew girl, you handled yourself VERY well. I honestly don't know how I would have handled it... I gained 85-90lbs in about a year and a half when I was in high school b/c of an ovarian disease. So I understand about the weight gain and really having no control over your body and not really knowing what is going on. (((hugs))) But geez, come on people... culture or not, have RESPECT!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Wow, that is way beyond rude. I'd like to throw out some curse-bombs for you, but then I'd have to report myself. You handled it very well bc you never lost your cool, which is amazing to me, well done! I agree with Nanc, in that I would try to not even engage w/ people like that if they keep pushing - they don't deserve your attention regarding subjects that are intended to get your goat. Buttheads.

| Rude is rude and I don't care what country you are from! But being she was in the US maybe she should be careful what she tells people, I know if I go to a different country I would try to make sure I don't offend anyone. But you did a great job not yelling at her. You came out looking like the better person

| Some people really have no class. I am sorry that someone made you feel so unhappy, especially at work. What a way to ruin someone's day! You have much more self-control than I do, and I would have been very upset too. Rudeness is worldwide and impossible to avoid. Oh great, DH tells me we are going to a German place with friends for dinner tonight. I better wear something slimming or I might get a tounge lashing too!! |

| I am so sorry. It is the public, not the "nationality". I work in the public as well, and get a lot of rude comments myself. Hang in there. Our DH'S LOVE US, with all their hearts...and then we have the pups....

| I wouldnt even get into a argument with people like that. Hold your head up high, keep it professional and just cut them off and continue with business. You got it going on and dont let anyone ruin your day...Smile |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Until I had gastric bypass I delt with all kinds of humiliating insults. Right down to a woman taking a package of cookies out of my shopping cart at the grocery store telling me I didn't need them. Ummmm... I did in home child care at the time, they weren't for me at all. You did a great job of keeping your cool, don't lose your job because of her lack of people skills. I'm sure there's plenty wrong with her when she looks in the mirror too. I am sorry that happened to you.
