I understand your view point!

But I admit that occasionally I furtively wish my symptoms could be seen from the outside so people would believe me!!

Rie3 that use to bug me and make me so angry when people would say; you don’t look sick! I had to change my thought pattern and realize it’s actually a blessing I don’t look sick! What if we really looked like we felt? Now I consider it a compliment and a blessing from God!!!

Ask them how they think a sick person should look!! And maybe remind them u often can't see chronic illness on the outside..
I know people can be so ignorant and cruel and it's hard to deal with them when they doubt us. Just remember God knows it all and u have support on here
