I'm so sorry your relatives do not understand what you are dealing with. People can be so narrow-minded. If one of them is ever stricken with something like MG, they will be whistling another tune.
Try to let it not bother you (easier said than done, I know). Your health and well-being are what is important.
I'm sending you a

because I understand what you are going through.
Wishing you improved symptoms in 2010.

P.S. I too have ocular at this point which is the last thing to come back after my recent crisis and hospital stay.
