I just currently read this article again after comming face to face with a women that gave me a look to kill, and I was having a bad day with pain anyway, so I shouted out "do you have any idea what chronic pain is?" Look it up if you don't and keep your dirty looks to yourself." I felt bad because I am usualy not an angry person but was I am totaly feed up with having to explain my life and what a day with pain does to me and my whole famly and that was the last straw. If any of you have not read this article by an angel :Lisa Copen, you need to, especialy when this is chronic illness awareness month and also Chiari awareness month which is the disorder that is near and dear to me, since I have this disorder. So next time when you see someone that may look Ok on the outside remember there are many illnesses that are invisible and they deserve the right to park there too, keep your looks friendly because you never know when you or someone you love will become ill and it won't show to others, how would you want them to be treated?
I don't remember the whole saying or who said it, but you don't know a man/women unless you've walked a day in their shoes. That's powerful and true..
