Join Our Invisible Illness Week Meme Which Will Increase Awareness Big Time

Last year hundreds of people participated in our "30 Things" Meme. We'd love to hear from you again (even if you filled out the 30 Things About My Invisible Illness You May Not Know last year, you may have some new answers this year... it will be interesting to see which ones!).

This is a great way to blog about your invisible illness too. We may say, "no one understands!" but have we really given them the chance to? Fill this out, post it on your blog or on Facebook, etc. and then let your friends and family know. You may even be surprised to find out who you know who is living silently with his or her own invisible illness.

Be sure to comment at the Invisible Illness Week web site with the name of your blog and where it's posted so we can come read it!
