Dealing with nosy or intrusive questions when you're already managing so much can be really exhausting — and honestly, redirecting people to "ask a doctor" is a pretty clever move! 😄

Setting boundaries is completely valid and important. A few responses that might help deflect unwanted questions:

- "I appreciate your concern, but I'm keeping things private for now."
- "That's something I'd rather not get into today."
- "I'm focusing on staying positive — let's talk about something else!"

Remember, "no" is a complete sentence. You don't owe anyone an explanation about your health journey.

Great statement and grest response!! People can be extremely rude sometimes and it can be really hurtful. Actually I just tell them I prefer not to talk about that subject but even then some continue to probe. At that point I just walk away. I'm not sure if it really is being rude or if they just have no manners. People sometimes can be very rude and hurtful but we deal with them anyway.
