Thanks for sharing your story. Chronic illnesses especially invisible ones are often poorly understood by both the public and medical profession resulting in a certain stigma for some people suffering with an invisible illness. My partner suffers from an autoimmune disease and some of his symptoms are very similar to yours. Do you attend a patient support group? My partner finds his support group to be very helpful.
Oh gosh, that is so so so well said! Yes 1000x to all of that- even doctors who should know better will treat you unkindly... then you end up having to advocate for yourself while you're a total mess. Fighting an invisible illness can be such a soul sucking battle at times. 😣
I'm so glad your partner has found relief from a support group, and has someone who cares to understand! A supportive partner is gold with an autoimmune disease imo.
Although I've never tried a support group, I think it's a smashing suggestion! I think I will look some up in my area and try it out sometime 😁
Thanks for this great comment 🤗
