How do youe close friends (meaning relatives, significant others) deal with the migraine issues?

Hi All,

I am very lucky to have several wonderful friends who are helpful during migraine. Helpful to the point that they take turns watching me when the fainting is particularly bad. But I realize I am lucky.
How do your close friends, significant others, family, deal with the whold migraine issue? How do you explain it to others that you can't do stuff because of it. I qould just like some other perspectives on this topic.

Pain free days,

Some understand and accept me the way I am.
Others found a way to hurt my feelings and to offend me because of my disease.

The first ones are still my close friends.
The second ones are my ex friends...
