It's #LetsTalkTuesday so I wanted to share how assumptions about my health based on my appearance often invalidates and erases my experience. This happens honestly, with people who know that I have been having health issues (but denying it's severity), or doctors I am trying to seek help from, and my appearance is enough to dismiss my case. Chronic illness has many faces, many colors, many sizes, and yes, we can sometimes look put together and we can look cute. Sometimes putting on a nice outfit and some make up is the highlight of our day, but we're still sick. Looking nice does not make us less sick.
