This year the theme set In the states is "JUST ONE"
...We are JUST ONE of Millions of people who live with, suffer from, or are impacted by Invisible illnesses ...Creating awareness is so incredibly vital in changing the way people view those of us who live with illness, We live in a society where people find difficulty in believing or understanding something that they can not see.
If we see that your arm is in a sling we automatically register that your going to be limited in upper body movement, Broken leg well your out of action; please sit down, in fact let me grab you a seat. Yet the same should be said for those with invisible illnesses IF ONLY WE COULD SEE FROM THE INSIDE OUT .... imagine for a moment if you could .... then be grateful that you can't because the reality is it wouldn't be a pretty site.
