Post_functional, I sympathize (and identify) with your frustration over people dismissing serious chronic illnesses, but I also found your initial post confusing and misleading. While OldAdjunct can be a little more direct and abrupt than some here, I had some of the same questions after reading your first post. Your follow-up explanation that you distrusted your former employers' responses to your illness helped to clarify a bit, but I still don't understand why you feel that you deserve a slavish apology here.

I know from your other posts that you are under enormous stress right now--and I sympathize with that. I would also like to gently suggest that the tension may have left you a bit overwrought and inclined to take offense very quickly.

You're very much right.  Mea culpa.

Just another of the lovely effects of chronic and nagging illness that bind us together, yes? <hugs>

Yes.  [Hugs]  I constantly fight the temptation to become bitter.  I need to heed my own advice on another thread and get more exercise!
