If I have to hear one more person tell me that I am tired all the time with a disapproving tone in their voice I am going to explode.... aren't family members supposed to be supportive and understanding when another family member has medical problems that makes life difficult to say the least.

Maybe when someones says that you're tired bite back and say yeah im tired alright, tired of listening to you! I know it sounds a bit nasty but if they arent being supportive maybe saying something like this will make them realise what they are doing to you...
Thanks for this!

good for you!
I've found that most times when I reply like this it shocks them into silence.
It's not meant to be mean, but I want their comments stopped. I can handle face to face/honest talks, but I balk at these snide little remarks.
