The cliche quote "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." is very important thing to remember.
The most common example I see is Lyme disease, that's something that is often misdiagnosed. The pain can be debilitating and last for life, but it's not something you can easily see just how hard it was for that person just to get out of bed each day.
That's the perfect quote. It may be cliche, but it's good advice.
There seem to be a lot of health problems that fall into the "invisible illness" category, and Lyme is certainly one of them. Lyme is endemic where I live, and I've had it myself. It's a terrible disease. I read that they are seeking to increase funding for Lyme research in the US, so maybe that will help. I know "chronic Lyme" is a contentious issue, but perhaps more research will clarify things.
