I was kind of disappointed by the ICN survey about different weight loss programs.
As a severe IC patient, it is hard enough getting taken seriously in the medical community about just how completely disabling the disease can be, and how bed-bound it can make some who have the disease. If we're well enough to be debating whether to do Zone/Atkins/Weight Watchers, how serious a disease can it be?
I would have preferred either
- that this discussion and link were within the 'people in remission' thread,
- or that it at least was premised by,
'Some are completely debilitated by the disease. For those with mild IC or
who are in remission, a survey not meant to seem frivolous but to weigh
IC diet against weight loss' ...
or some such thing.
Am I overreacting? Did anyone else feel that ICN Facebook survey came across as too frivolous for a disease making them desperate?
