@sunnyflower I know what you mean about the "always smiling and positive" demeanor causing others to not think what you have is as severe as it is. When my wife (who has bad neuropathy), talks to anyone, including our families, she seems very strong and forceful, outgoing and very good natured. She is somewhat stoic and even if she is suffering badly she still can manage to mostly seem normal to others. I don't think all of them realize how bad it is. I have to tell them and describe what she goes through. Then they say, "Wow, that's bad!" and I say "Yeah". Otherwise they just don't quite get it, like when she was not able to travel to see them (before covid). I don't think they really ever believed she was in that rough of shape. Best, Hank
