to be sick of people commenting on my tremors?

[ladywithnomanors]

I'm sick to death of it. How can people think it's ok to point out my shaky hands? I wouldn't comment on someone's bald head or fat arse. To me it's as personal as that. Complete strangers sometimes. It's just happened again in Primark at the till.
I have a neurological condition that cause these tremors and despite medication they're not completely controlled. It's exhausting.
I really wish people would think before they speak 😢 .

Oh that’s awful. I’ve actually been calling it out recently (I have some hair loss at the moment). It’s quite liberating! If someone makes a comment I assume they’re a rude bastard so why should I be polite. Usually along the lines of “God what a rude thing to say”. Certainly takes the wind out of their sails but I don’t know why people have to be so shit

I can understand it would be frustrating, but imagine its coming from a place of concern more so than wanting to upset you. I wouldn't say comparable to saying someone has a fat arse, or bald head when the intention in those instances is to be offensive.

Sympathies. I have a neurological condition that causes my speech to slur. I feel really conscious of it. But actually have never had anyone comment and sometimes find that hard too as I feel like i want to explain so they don't think i'm drunk!

I understand that comments can come from concern but I am ok unless people point it out to me. Then I like crap.

That's is so annoying. I would never think to comment on something like that.

Similar to a previous poster, I have a neurological condition that can cause me to slur and stutter when i'm tired. I've had a couple of people (who I work with) sort of joke and stutter after me etc.

Not acceptable with people you know but definitely not acceptable when you don't know the person at all!!

Yes I feel your pain - I get this all the time too. I would never ever comment on something like this myself - far too British!

Sympathies to other sufferers on here. Lala I can't believe they did that - what massive cocks.

@lalala1234 oh that's awful!!

It's shit that people feel they can comment on that type of thing. Last time we went to my mils house I noticed she had a tremor and didn't bring it up. I figured she would if she wanted to talk about it as it happened she did bring it up but I don't feel it is my place. I cannot imagine doing it with a stranger.

My DH also has a tremor due to early onset Parkinson's.
The comments he has received are shocking. From 'what's up with you, pissed last night'? 'Are you an alcoholic?'
'Have you got something mentally not right with you?'
He has replied 'sorry my Parkinson's offends you...'
