Hi Baba,

In my experience, I know that I can't talk about my health with some people. This includes my best friend! We have a great relationship, but if I start talking about my issues her eyes glaze over and I become resentful because I think she should listen. I just decided she was valuable enough to me in other ways to let it go. As much as we may love them, some people don't have empathy naturally, and unless they have medical issues similar to ours, sympathy isn't there, either. I've been living with strange symptoms for about 13 years. Lots of time spent seeking answers, but still no concrete cause of my symptoms. My husband has been there for it all, but even he says, "just live your life and try not to focus on it so much." Right. That's gonna happen.
