Thomas,
I used to judge people based on what I knew or suspected, the last 7 years I have learnt about a whole new World, one that for luck I knew nothing about.
I think what you are observing and commenting on, are a number of different behaviours to understand or cope and to help, What for some can be for some a condition which whilst not very pleasant is somewhat uncomplicated and easy to manage for others it is just one of a number of related conditions that can make life very difficult even life threatening.
One great thing about kickas is there are people here with similar experience and often further on in the progression of their disease who can point someone in the right direction. based on experience.
The guys I feel for are those with young families who get hit really hard and then have to cope with kids a mortgage and lots of medical bills. that's when you find out who your real friends are.
