It's that isolating, wake up in pain in the middle of the night experience.
In addition to physical pain, which is one thing, the phenomenon of some people treating you as a nuisance or a wimp that they would just as soon be rid of because your health condition is so inconvenient to them is an even sadder aspect...
Physical pain would be easier to deal with If there was more emotional support.
It's very sad when people you thought would be able to help end up being the ones who shun you.
It seems like a more advanced society would have more healing attitudes, to try to bring out the best in all of us, notwithstanding genetic differences and illnesses that might be curable or at least more manageable in a more compassionate society.
