Thanks to Kendra at Diabetes Notes and Laura at CFS Squared for the tip off on National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week this week.
What’s an invisible chronic illness? Anything that people won’t know you have just by looking at you. Examples include…
- Mental illness
- Eating disorders
- Endometriosis
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Chronic pain
- Heart disease
- Autism
- Migraines
- Cancer
- Multiple sclerosis
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- and anything else you just can’t see

Hi Kristen,
I wanted to let you know that I posted this into the Yahoo Group FaceBlind which is about Prosopagnisia.

I thought the members might find it interesting as things like button campaigns and other ideas have been mentioned in the past…
Thanks, Brian! I appreciate the promo efforts. :] Hope it’s of some use to the group.

As the founder of National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week…. THANK YOU!! Thanks for your effort, kindness and willingness to help encourage others in any way possible. We’ve been having over 50 people attending the chat seminars so we are thrilled! Blessing to you! Don’t forget to stop on by (we’ll have transcripts later too)
I found a neat blog: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/ and was really touched by Christine’s Spoon theory article. I learned a lot about Lupus (an invisible illness) by reading it.
