DFayesMom, I do the same thing as you. Sometimes I will let them see me when I am having a major problem with chronic pain. That always shuts them up. They may not understand what is wrong but they know it is very bad and best if they shut it. I am beyond caring what they think other than my family. Those are the only ones that I get upset about. They are really coming around though. Actually with my dad now having Shy-Dragers (double Parkinson's disease) they see that when you have a problem with your brain that you are unable to control certain things. They are learning. They are at least trying now. It is a huge relief.
Brain  don't let them bother you guys!
