Hi! When I had to tell my husband and my parents I was so worried. What would they think of me? Would they understand? I know you are worried, but you have to understand that you didn't ask for these things. It's not your fault, so don't present anything to them like it is. It is a medical condition and ask them to help you face these issues as medical conditions. Don't mimimize your pain to anyone, just be who you are, and be prepared with literature and the knowledge of your research as well. good luck!
