We have told my husbands family about my crps, and most of the time when they are around i dont say anything about my pain, but if they ask and i say anything about the painful episodes they just say "its been a year, your still having issues with that!" No matter how many times i try to explain its a lifelong thing, its doesnt heal itself.

How do you explain what crps is so they understand your not just being a drama queen?
yeah, that's a tough one huh? I'm trying to train myself to put it simply
that I have a nerve dystrophy that causes my nerves to misfire causing all sorts of pain and BTW there's not cure to date.
