I know how you feel. Since my dx of Sjogren's Syndrome, I talk about how it makes so tired,etc,etc. and suddenly, no one wants to hear it.And since you can't 'see' the pain,etc. ,everyone thinks you are fine. Same deal with stroke now. Double whammy. Daughter used to call me almost every day..but back when , I could help HER , with kids,etc.Now I can't so she rarely calls me.Hang in there.. it's THEIR problem..I've also had cancer and in their therapy, it says to avoid negative people. DO just that! Keep smiling- it makes people wonder what you are up to!!!!!!!
