My mom called me a "nuisance" because I was worried about my health.

I’ve been feeling off lately and noticed some inflammatory rashes on my arm, so I did the responsible thing and got a blood test. When the results came back, my Neutrophils were high (76%). Naturally, I was worried and showed the results to my mom.

Her response? "I don't know, that's your problem." And then she went on to call me a "nuisance" for making a big deal out of it.

I’m just so hurt. I’m not trying to be dramatic; I’m literally looking at lab results that say something is elevated. It’s hard enough worrying if I have an infection, but it’s even harder knowing that my own mother sees my health concerns as an inconvenience. I feel so alone in this.
