INVISIBLE ILLNESS LOOKS LIKE:hours spent in doctor’s offices, diagnostic tests, medications and their side effects clogging your cupboards, prescription strength compression stockings, ugly impressions after days in those stockings, more medications and side effects, record high blood pressure numbers, early morning hot chocolates before more appointments, pricks in the arm every few weeks because of more side effects of more medications, ending up in the hospital with infections that should have been minor.INVISIBLE ILLNESS IS:hours with doctors that don’t believe your reality and physical therapists that believe in simply you, trying every drug on the market, trying every method suggested, working your ass off to teach your body how to do things able bodied people don’t even think twice of, cheering for numbers that should be worrying, ‘you don’t look sick’, biting your tongue, being brave. -- source link
