Are you a member of a local MS or Fibromyalgia society? If not, maybe someone from one of them can call you and set up a mentor program so that you can actually have a voice to talk to and tell you that they do understand. I pray that you will eventually feel like you can talk to your family about your 'MS things'. I don't know what I would do without mine. Of course my sister has Fibromyalgia and my Mom has Lupus so we all cry together sometimes. We joke that all together the three of us have the equivalent of one brain now!
