Invisible Illness​

Hi, recently there was an article on here about parking in a disabled spot and the nasty remarks you get when you have an invisible disability. Today I received my newsletter from West Australian Ostomy Association and saw that there is a group specifically for people with an invisible illness. It appears to be just in WA but maybe other states have them too.

'Invisible Illnesses Inc is a local group providing in-person support and a social group for people who have any form of invisible illness, including chronic pain, because these are not well understood by the general community and isolation is a very real issue. Raising awareness and providing educating for sufferers and their support people as well as the general public are major objectives.'

I should have read all the news letter before posting my previous letter. I have found the national one now.
