Hello, I Just happened on this site and realized how refreshing it is to hear that others understand what it is like to live with
chronic illnesses that most around you do not see . Besides having to try to live with painful conditions that keep you from the life you want to live, I think the hardest part is not looking sick to those around you that do not understand you are struggling so. I am sorry there are others who feel this way but it is a help to know we are not alone and crazy ! Hope you are all having a "Good" day today.

Hi @Annied Welcome to the community, I am glad you managed to find us and thank you for joining.
There are lots of members on here that feel the same as you, I have a visible disability but again it isn't easy to deal with having a life changing disability occur with no warning.
One day you are enjoying life like all others and the next your life has changed and you can no longer do all the same things others can.
It takes time to adjust but it does get better and you learn to cope find new ways to do things and new things to do
Wr are here to support and help in any way we can1 -
