Families, as I am learning, tend to go into this mindset of agreed ignorance. Like "If I don't think it's bad, that means it's not!" it's really unfortunate and really unhealthy. The most important thing is that you know you and your body and it seems like you really do. I know it can get frustrating when other people minimize an illness, but know you are validated to yourself because you can feel it and you understand it better than anyone else.

Please take care! many hugs
