Welcome Cali! glad you found us.

I found that in-laws, and regular family sometimes dont know how to be supportive. Many see the "but you look so good" side of the disease, and think "can it really be that bad?" and then they get it stuck in their heads that you are dreaming up most of the drama. Unless they take the time to become educated, or have the desire to want to be more compassionate, you are better off just doing the head nod, and saying "thank you! im pretty good today." and walking away. Dont let them stress you. Come here and vent.

You will find this to be a great crowd to be in. Knowledgeable, and trust worthy. Pull up a chair and hang out a while.
