I have recently begun to think a lot about a term I've heard: Invisible Illness. These are chronic illnesses (Endometriosis, Lupus, MS, many others) that are not apparent upon first glance, or upon just looking at a person. Wikipedia has an entry for "invisible disability" which you can look at but wasn't worded well enough for my liking. I acknowledge that there are many of these illnesses world-wide and I support people becoming more familiar with them and raising awareness about them, but this is my blog so I'm going to keep this post confined to endometriosis.
