You explained it all right here. You can explain your situation with 8x10 color glossy photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, but you can't change her personality. You might try blaming your heart condition more than the MS but I doubt that will change anything.

Try giving her the job of watching out for you. Maybe if she feels needed for something important, to concentrate her attention on your symptoms, she'll quit dismissing them.

Good luck! How frustrating it must be to have such a good friend who is so irritating.
