They don't understand or support.

I do have a supportive and loving family. But I feel most do not truly understand the extent of this disease and how difficult it is to manage. I’m 32 and it’s like my life has been completely flipped upside down. Went from training mma 5-6 days a week to needing to be careful not to bump into a door as it can become dangerous when your count is super low. It’s just a lot and it sucks feeling like no one around you truly understands.
