for you Summer!
Most people don't understand at all. Things are hard enough on us without the added stress of disbelieving family and friends. It's no wonder we feel so isolated...we are!! My family is the same way as a lot of others. My dad doesn't understand and told my hubby he'd better "watch" me cause I'd just get addicted to the pain pills. *snorts* Yeah right!!
As for people being "worse off" than you....ummmm....I suppose in a way there are but I think when it comes to rsd that we're all in the same boat. None of us are "worse off" because we're all dealing with the same horrible pain. Some of us just have more body involved than others but I don't think that makes me worse off than others.

It's all challenging no matter how much or how long. You are strong and brave too, you just don't see it yet.
Vent anytime you feel like it, it's what friends are for.
Hugs,
Karen
