I know that's the problem with a lot of mental and physical disabilities, if people can't see it, they don't believe you. I also have Autism and someone once said to me "Well you don't look Autistic." I'm sorry, What??" My mother is the type of person who knows everything even though she doesn't. She told me the exhaustion was because I don't eat right. Because I was too tired to bicker with her i said in my head only "Lady i haven't lived with you since the end of 2007. So unless we are eating together or I tell you what I ate, you don't have any idea what I eat." That's why i asked for help with how to tell family who don't believe anything is wrong with you. Thank you for replying.

@kjs831 it’s so hard for people who haven’t experienced what we do to understand. A diagnosis of fibromyalgia at least gives one justification and some people like Lady Gaga are speaking out and affirming the pain and fatigue. Try to be understanding while knowing you are right and they are ignorant or unwittingly believe our suffering. Take it one day at a time!🤗
