Sad but true....I've learned the hard way; don't hide it. It is a disease / an illness. My cardiologist could not understand why I took SO many "dangerous" meds until I clustered on the angiogram table (yes, right during the procedure!) All the morphine and versed wouldn't touch it! He couldn't stand watching all my tears and suddenly had a new understanding for my problem. As hard and frustrating as it is; keep on educating your coworkers, friends and family. We need and DESERVE their help. We are covered under ADA law just like everyone else with a disease. Everyone...keep fighting.
