Okrad,

Sympathy comes from a naturally sympathetic person or a person with experience in your suffrage is my guess.

I gained a great deal of compassion for athletes with head injuries after my accident, I thought they were fakers...it was just a concussion.

I try to mostly keep things to myself. I found no one can understand the dark symptoms of pcs, how can they when we can't even really describe them accurately half the time.

My wife listens but this place was a real Gosend for me,finally people who knew I wasn't faking or whining!
