Hello, I am a college student living with a chronic illness. I am going to be presenting research on the invalidation of invisible illnesses at UCLA. It would help if I got more responses. It will only take a few minutes and if you are uncomfortable answering the short answer questions you don't need to. Please share with everyone you know who has an invisible illness. I want to bring awareness to all to prevent future ignorance towards our very real illnesses.If you have any questions, please email me: marisacontreras28@gmail.com Thank you in advance.
I tried to post your survey on the Facebook site "Dysautonomia, Divas and Dudes", but it is against their rules to post links, so they would not let me post it.
Non diabetic peripheral neuropathy, took 2 years to get diagnosed, prescribed drug for epilepsy, the side effects described, worried me and after consultationwith pharmacist did not take, no other help or advice on offer from GP, found health unlocked forum very help, now self help on supplements advised from fellow non diabetic PN diagnosis, put down as degenerative, but I am sure with so many young people having this complaint, it is not a generative disease , but nerve damage due to toxins, not clearly shown on cleaning material, like bleach, aerosols, paint, glues, or a forgotten fall, or trauma, and no MRI scan offered to find scource of nerve damage, which could be healed, preventing further deterioration.
