I put a photo on a few months back of myself, my sister and mum saying just that. That's the thing, you can never tell what's going on with the person stood right next to you. That is great, simple yet so visually powerful. x

Yes, agree, most of my conditions are invisible apart from fibro as I use a walker or walking stick. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

I use a walking stick sometimes, Fibro affects my balance badly and I have another condition that affect my eyes and my balance, most of the time I hang on to my OH. XX

Most of our illnesses are not tangible, it is 20s century and people are still struggling with stigma and I hope this is not going to be the case for generations to come.

Fibromyalgia is definitely one of them and the state need to do more and a lot more support for charities 🎋

Well....we must be in 21 century, another sign of Fibro, do not remember things, if I do they are generally incorrect 😂

Indeed, we also become absolute masters at faking wellness! Better than all the awkward questions, but then no one will ever know what you are going through! 🤔😳😉 x
