So currently (and until September) I live with my parents and two sisters. My mother and father are always very good to me, and I know they feel bad about giving me a genetic predisposition for things like fibro. I'm very happy about how supportive and kind my parents are. My sisters, though, are another story entirely.
One of them is my twin, she is actually very nice, but she has a tendency to put her foot in her mouth. I know that she doesn't really understand what is going on with me all the time. She is going to start a doctorate of physical therapy program in August, I'm hoping she is going to start to understand me better then. She is always kind when I explain things, but it doesn't always seem to stick. She is definitely the more manageable of my two sisters.
The main problem is my older sister. She is, in one word, horrid. I have to drive her to work every morning for at least another month. She can't go two minutes without complaining about me shaking my leg or twitching or something (my fibro has really screwed with my nerves, so I have Restless Leg Syndrome and a lot of twitches). She knows I can't control it at all, but she still scolds me endlessly. I just don't know how to deal with her. She even does the classic "just take magnesium so it'll stop" (I already take magnesium along with a bunch of other vitamins and medications). I just don't know how I'm going to make it through the month with her. She totally doesn't understand anything about my life, or the fact that I can't control my nerves.
Most of this is just me venting my frustrations. If any of you have any suggestions on how to deal with her I would be open to it.
