Taking too Serious?

I’d love for some advice on what to do. I moved to the states a few years ago because I needed medical care for MS. I wasn’t very vocal about what was happening and have slowly opened up about it. But I find when I do there’s little sympathy given or care from persons.

Is it that they just don’t know the extent and possible seriousness of Ms? Do I think it’s more serious than it is?

This has cause me not to share much when I’m going through symptoms or have upcoming neurologists visits or MRIs. I don’t want to be alone facing this but also wonder how do I face it and welcome others in as well.
