I don't believe that someone that does not have pn can relate in any way at all. Not just pn but disease, death or anything one has never experienced, they can not relate. They can empathize. They can try to understand but how can one relate to something they have never experienced???

I am very thankful my husband trys to understand and empathize for my pain but the reality is, he can never understand what it feels like, to burn from the inside out, but I appreciate that he trys.

My solace comes from knowing the One who DOES know everything that I go through, my Lord. I couldn't go through life without my faith.

I pray for you and all of us that endure this.

Thanks ladies. He goes back and forth. I think once we get through this summer, as there is all that legal stuff we're dealing with, things will be easier for me to deal with. If anything just to be able to focus on us, and not the other crap we're dealing with.

I'll just keep coming here. It's a nice place to wrap my head around things before bringing them to him.

And then <shocking> he finally admitted to me the other night that he needs somebody to talk to about all this that's going on. Finally! That's a huge step.
