My experience with the invisible chronic illnesses (ICIs) fibromyalgia, endometriosis and osteoarthritis, to name a few. What happened, what's happening, and how I deal with it. I'm trying to channel my feelings into something productive here, something that might even help others in similar situations.

MichelleI found your blog when you found mine (in the little blogcatalog box) hee hee :) I have to say I have had writer's block and blogging slump for a bit now. I have been so sick, flaring really hard and my illness has been blinding my vision for writing. Do I write about this? Will this be depressing? etc. I want to let you know that I absolutely love your blog. It has inspired me to keep my other one going! Your writing is very upbeat, down to earth, from the heart. Thanks Sherril!
soft hugs,
Michelle
Lori OlsonHi,
Any suggestions on how to make a fibromyalgia day booth successful?
David PackmanI think your blog is great, you write well and break up the text with some great related images. Bravo. Also, since my wife suffers from chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic psuedocysts (yeah, try getting people to believe she has a disease that starts with psuedo) we can certainly identify with your writing.
Thank you for the great blog!
Allow yourself to share your experience with this invisible illness and help you…

Sherril,
I came upon your blog today, "The Invisible Chronic Illness Experience", and loved to explore some of your posts.
I believe when you are fighting a chronic illness, you view the world with different eyes. It was very interesting to see the world through your eyes, as you have opened the boundaries of your own suffering.
I found it so moving that Rob Thomas wrote "Her Diamonds" for his wife who suffers with an autoimmune disease. For those who suffer with an invisible chronic illness, they soon realize that the world does not understand. Artists often are ahead of the world in thinking. So thank you for that post.
I shall visit again, as you have a great strength to reach out your hand to those who are suffering in the world, and share your guidance and fellowship.
I pray that the your illness will lessen so your body can heal. Thank you for your words.
Lady Sharon
