TOSers know how frustrating it is that people can't tell you are in pain just by looking at you.
We know all about that pat on the back, or the too tight hug from a well meaning friend, or the awkwardness in having to go through the long explanation of what your physical problem is, knowing they will not understand.
That is why I believe in the cause of the site - www.invisibleillnessweek.com - You can search there for articles relating to your experience and find support. I submitted an article under the My Story section about my own experience. Please go there and support the great work they are doing bringing awareness and education to the issues we face with the invisible illness of TOS.
