I feel so bad hearing that so many people aren't supported in this. I feel like I have the most amazing family ever b/c EVERYONE understands and supports me and tries to protect me when someone is sick or doesn't feel well. My husband, parents, best friend and extended family are all amazing about it. Some of them had a hard time understanding at first. I said to them "imagine if you were afraid of spiders...so afraid that you would rather die than have one touch you and someone tried to actually PUT one on you...how would you feel?" of course they said terrified and then they understood where I was coming from. Once in awhile we laugh about it (my nephew has a very BAD gag reflex and will actually get sick from even feeding his cats b/c of the smell of cat food, cleaning the litterbox, eating too much candy, etc....many other things) and even the kids know to stay away from Beth if you don't feel good! I hope everyone on here can at least at some point have one person to support them
