I can really relate to this,. I try to focus on the people in my life who do support and are understanding but it is still hard to accept the ones who are clueless. I developed this young at 28 so people see me as young and should be able to do. I'm very lucky to have a mom who has supported me through thick and thin. My grandfather on the other hand blames me for not getting better and for getting this condition. His gf yelled at me for not going to yoga. I said I can't get on the floor she is like well you just don't want to get better. What an idiot. That is why I go to so many docs and put myself through treatments. As for the docs I think some regardless of what you look like they would not care. It is hard to not give up in finding the right care. Truly I went to so many docs and many opinions to have met so many insensitive and clueless docs. I went to the best hospitals to be let down. Thank goodness for my mom who pushed me to keep going cause I finally found a random doc but who ended up being the best in the bunch and actually listened and spent time. Also I am thankful for the boards and people I have met. I can still remember coming to this board at the start feeling so scared and clueless and how supported and I felt by people and how much informtive direction I was given. Many better thoughts for all
