Hi everyone!

Today's post is about this Article about being young with fibro. There's a certain stigma that comes along with being sick, especially when it's an invisible illness that makes us in pain or in need of things that society typically associates with age (i.e. canes, walkers, handicap parking spaces, etc.)

Too often I have browsed through tumblr's tags for chronic illnesses and seen posts about younger people's experience dealing with ableist adults in regard toward their needs to live with their conditions. Unfortunately, we can't educate everyone, but there are some resources you can get.

Invisible Illness Products
Illness Info Cards

As always, if you have a suggestion you'd like to share, please comment.

Regards!
Shannon G.
