Some great observations Donna. I have several invisible illnesses and suffer in private. I feel like a pain in the bum if i show people. I hate the sympathy. I believe they see and treat you differently once they know. Less respect! I don’t know if you agree with that?
But I think even doctors treat me differently, especially when I’m in a bed and they tower over me. The dynamic is wrong and unfortunately my attitude changes the moment another person reacts to me that way!
