to not give my friend sympathy who follows quack advice then complains about being unwell

[Jedimuz]

I have a friend that is constantly complaining about a health condition IBS/PMS/cystitis ect.

However she always seems to have a lot of the foods that trigger it - four expressos a day, liters of diet cola, crisps and chocolate.

She pays a fortune to homeopath and other woman who puts a head band on and then the computer says what she can and can't eat all for 80 pounds a visit! It ranges from not eating tomatoes, to muchrooms, oranges, spicy food etc but never says anything about the coffee / cola / chocolate.

Friend refuses to try even to stop having so much coffee and swears it is nothing to do with it as the machine does say so. So she sits at home clutching crystals and other gems while eating crap and feeling crap.

Aibu to just not feel sympathy for her anymore?

Why not take a bit of your sympathy then dilute it 1000 times and present it to her as a very strong dose of homeopathic sympathy?

Genius, HaroldsBishop!

Yes do as Harold says, or give a packet of skittles that you've shook with your sympathy vibrations.

Coffee gives me the shits.

I love coffee.

I drink coffee.

Je ne regrette rien.
