because you asked a question.  You are being "attacked" because you have the audacity and nerve to call us rude and panic-ridden after we responded to not just 1, but 2 of your posts asking for advice about what to do about your DH and his problem.

My first thought after your first post was "why is she bothering to take the time to ask this here?  Why doesn't she contact a medical professional such as a doctor?"  But alas, a little later on you reported that he was doing ok.

Then, you came back again with yet another post saying that his lower lip was now swollen.  Now, we know nothing about you and your life other than the little bit of info you decided to share regarding your DH and his medical malady.  How were we to know he was not having a severe allergic reaction to something?  That is certainly how you made it sound.

I am deeply offended and angered at the nature of your replies (as I'm sure many others are) to people who were genuinely concerned and only trying to offer you the only advice they could given the information they were presented with.  No, this is not something I will carry with me or let "bum me out", but it is disheartening when you try to show concern for someone and you basically get slapped in the face.

I don't think anyone that responded to your posts was rude to you in any way, shape, or form.  I myself responded to your second post and was as kind as I could possibly be when I asked which you could afford more...the emergency room bill, or the loss or your DH.  I even said I wasn't trying to be harsh.  But the statement you made about not wanting to go to the ER becasue of the cost really burned me.  You cannot put a price on someones health or life. 

I am glad that your DH is ok; however, I think the responses you made after so many people tried to help you out were unwarranted.  If you didn't want our advice, you shouldn't have asked and just because you didn't like the advice you got doesn't give you the right to respond in the way you did.

karma...
