Yes Kay,
My family know about my es, but actually don't really fully accept it/
want to accept, and are constantly making assumptions which are only
valid if I don't have it . They don't want to talk about it: it feels like a 
battle-ground instantly if I even raise it - so I keep it to myself when the effects 
are bad.  Some friends however, (very few) instantly cotton on to 
the gravity of the situation, and how it changes my life and how deeply it 
effects me. But this is very rare : these few people do the fantastic service 
for me of reminding me what an open-minded and humane response would 
look like, when I very rarely get it!
    This helps me to be humane with myself and keep my sanity, and this 
I think can be very difficult. It is important I think not to minimise the 
problem, or just hope it goes away : much better to take it seriously and 
protect yourself as you can , even if others around you don't understand that.
It may get worse if just ignored and wished away,
      best wishes, Sylvan Moir.

I've only shared my EMS with my family, four grown children. Three of them anyway, I've shared with. Two of them don't want to hear about it and the other one I feel doesn't think there's really anything amiss with me, thinks it's all in my head. So I try not to bring it up with any of them. Also, I have no friends who I would try to share it with. ES Forum is my only outlet and I truly appreciate it! I don't think it's only in my head because it hurts terrible even though I try to tell myself that nothing adverse is happening to me. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has experienced what I've explained above? Thanks a bunch
Peacefulness, Kay
