Guest Blog: Invisible Illness - Lending My Voice to Others

I don’t wear bracelets. I don’t do charity walks or 5ks. I don’t even talk about “it” that often, even though I’ve lived with “it” for half of my life and will do so for the rest of it.

I’m your colleague who is living with an invisible illness. Over 58 million Americans aged 18-65, a full third of this population group, live with one or more chronic illnesses. In my case, it’s a rare, multi-systemic auto-immune condition referred to as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).
