I definitely agree. My husband and I got together around the time that my symptoms really started showing up (17-18) and he still stuck around after dealing with all those years of it! 6 years now :) He's awesome. haha
As for other people, I can really imagine it must suck to get negative attitudes. The only people I have ever really gotten anything from post-diagnosis is my mother and brothers. My dad and everyone else don't really say anything if it's not supportive and helpful. I count myself truly lucky. I could have it much worse off, especially being that I am very sensitive. My brothers backed off, especially when the youngest caused a C attack by flicking me in the forehead lol he was so freaked out if I could have laughed I would have. My mom still has her moments but sometimes she seems like she gets it, but then the next day she's back to square one. Oh well. Like I said, it definitely could be worse.
