I think Victoria is right.

Other people can have some understanding with things they can see. Walk in with a cast on your leg and they get that.

Try to explain the stuff they can't see though. That's like religion, they either have faith in you or they don't. It can take time (and persistance) to convince them.




Question is do you want to persue it?

I did. I got to a point where I wondered if I needed a shrink more than a neuro - so I went to see one. I told him exactly why I was there - am I nuts, or could this possibly be happening to me?

All the weird sx, all the tests, what the docs were saying. He told me I was fine - if I was stressed and upset, that was normal under my circumstances. But he said I seemed to be dealing with it pretty well, really.

The other thing is - that other people need to think about - that even things that are *all in your head* are medical issues. People with any medical issues deserve help and understanding.
