No doubt, we find it easier to just smile through it.

Sometimes you just have to laugh .. My Dr. diagnosed me. I went to lunch soon after with one of my besties. I told her. Her response was " Oh that's funny, because that doesn't even exist". Hair pulling lol . I choose to ignore her ignorance and embrace the good things about her. This is simply a topic I can not share with her. Thank goodness for all of you!

My husband went with me when I was diagnosed as well, and he asked just as many questions and offered answers as well. Makes a big difference.

my husband knows and understands cause he was with me when the dr diagnosed me. he asked questions and my md answered them. plus i have shown him articles about all my diagnoses and he knows when i hurt really bad. he helps as much as possible. but every now and then he forgets so i remind him.

Even though they care and I know they understand I still feel like sometimes I can't talk... mostly because I feel like I'm just constantly complaining and no one wants to hear it anymore
