At the beginning of the year I became part of a network of Chronic Illness Bloggers. In addition to opportunities to test and review products, we support each other in living with our conditions, and share with each other tips, articles, resources, and posts.
One such post is the following: “4 Women Share What It’s Like To Live With An Invisible Disease.”
“You have no idea how sick someone is on the inside when you can only see the outside. We talked to four women who are struggling with chronic (read: lifelong) illnesses that are all but invisible to the naked eye. Here, they share what it’s like to suffer from the diseases and the doubt.”
A great description of what it’s like to come up against the attitude of, “But you don’t look sick”.

Thanks Jenny – what an eye opener to people who suffer from other “invisible” illnesses! I admit to being selfish and only looking for information on Fibro but from now on I’ll remember the countless others out there trying to find relief too. Kudos to you for spreading the news. As always, a pleasure to read from Cranky Fibro Girl!
