Default How do you explain RSD to friends/family?

I unfortunately may have an RSD diagnosis soon and want to tell certain people in my life. I have already tortured many friends/family over the last 8 months trying to describe RSD. I've sent them to websites but some people can't even handle that. Some of you have been living with this for so long and must have had to come up with a simple explanation that isn't too technical.

For people who can handle it I'll send them to this site that describes what it feels like: http://www.rsdhope.org/Showpage.asp?...3&PGCT_ID=4415

Thanks for any help you can provide.
