I feel yu pain believe me, I have to go work at the office where everytime I look at someone has this smile... definitely know that they are laughing at me. I have let all my fronds go because it is just too embarrassing talking to someone face to face when they are clearly are uncomfortable being around me, but to get back to your post, please do not think that you are alone dealing with this, you have our support and I do agree that some people can be really mean when it comes to something like this, but at the same time if they do this kind of thing when you are "sick" that means that they may not be such good friends after all. Please feel free to contact me for support, I am going through the same thing and I can understand how hard this is.
