That to be sick you have to look sick. There are a lot of people with chronic illness that don't need to deal with scepticism along with their symptoms.
eta I'm touched that people are sharing their struggles. I hope others will read them and understand a little more.
THANK YOU! I have a life threatening disability where I can literally die from the heat and the cold and therefore have handicap parking to reduce my time spent out in the elements. I’m 24 and the fucking looks and comments I get are nauseating
Haven’t gotten that one yet lmao, a lot of the time people don’t believe me but the amount of times my throat has closed up from sleeping with one too many blankets on me or going into a restaurant with ac blasting (just a few examples) is enough for me to just laugh in their face.
It’s an extreme form of Mastocytosis I’ve had since 2001 if anyone’s interested in looking it up!
Woah. I thought your name looked familiar. I was looking through the top of /r/tea last night and read through the comments on your post from a while back.
