Invisible Illness Week Facts to Tweet

The most popular topics about invisible illness seems to be the misconceptions people have about a chronic disease or pain that cannot be seen.

Are there really that many people with invisible illness?
Why another awareness week? Enough already!
You can’t be that sick.
If you were that sick, you wouldn’t be able to stand here and talk to me.
But you look fine to me.
If you just thought about something other than your illness, you’d start to feel much better.

Do any of these sound familiar?

Help increase awareness about nearly any illness (most of them are invisible), by tweeting these facts below and reminding people that situations are not always as they appear.

We’ve found some interesting facts we think you will like and highlighted some few special statistics about invisible illness or chronic pain. You can find sources for our statistics here.

You can follow us on Twitter and then add “RT” at the beginning (that means you are retweeting it) and @invisibleillwk. That way people know the source where you found it and they can sign up for it themselves.

When Co-Workers are Chronically Ill Or Have Cancer: How To Support Them

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” Robert Collier

Continuing to work with cancer or a chronic illness is very important for many people. It is one of the few parts of life that a person can feel they have control over. Having a sense of normality is essential when treatments, frequent visits to hospital become an unwelcome part of everyday life. Working can provide a welcome relief from daytime TV.

Here are 5 tips for supporting individuals working with cancer or chronic illness:

1. Treat them as a normal person; they are still the same person and not defined by their illness. They may look different, but it is the inside of them that matters most. Make them feel part of the team again.
2. Meet more regularly. Involve them in agreeing manageable workloads. Break tasks down into smaller steps. This makes any job more manageable and encourages a sense of achievement. It gives a great sense of personal satisfaction to leave work each day having achieved something meaningful. Prioritise together so individual knows the most important tasks to concentrate on.
3. Many illnesses are invisible and you will need to weigh up the individual’s right to confidentiality and disclosing to the team. The individual is the best person to guide you. It can help to be open with others close by who can better understand absences and also be more in tune to support the individual.
4. Consider a buddy scheme. With the permission of the individual it can be very successful to partner them with someone who has also experienced cancer or a chronic illness – even if they are in a different office. It helps to share how they manage daily activities which might seem manageable to most but impossible for the person who is unwell. It can be a chance for them to share how they manage life outside of work as well.
5. Each person is different and keeping the conversation open in vital. As a manager you may have experienced many people with illnesses but no two people are the same. Each one of us copes differently and need to be managed accordingly. All the answers can be found with good communication with the individual.

When Abnormal Becomes The New Normal

Recently, a good friend of mine got mono. Whenever I’d read his status updates on Twitter or Facebook, I’d find myself slightly surprised at how limitations and symptoms that were new and foreign to him were completely typical for me. Can’t go to work? Can’t do errands? One activity in a day is too much? Trouble concentrating? His health was radically altered to resemble mine for a few weeks. It reminded me just how much I’ve had to adapt my lifestyle to my limitations. Dealing daily with abnormal health has become normal for me.

It’s not easy to understand chronic illness if you haven’t lived it. I’m always happy to find some kind of analogy for my daily struggles with dysautonomia in order to improve understanding and awareness. This dysfunction of my autonomic nervous system affects almost every system of my body. Symptoms range widely in type and severity from day to day or even hour to hour.

I can be doing ok one minute and flat on my back the next – quite literally. Describing these symptoms and feelings to another (healthy) person is just short of impossible, so sometimes I don’t even try. However, it can be helpful to use an analogy every so often, just to keep those around me in tune with what I cope with on a regular basis.

Tonight, I briefly visited the online support forum for my condition. One member made me smile knowingly when she posted that adaptation and adjustment to her limitations had left her forgetting what it felt like to be “normal.” She said that seeing people standing in 90-degree heat at a BBQ left her marveling: “What if they get overheated? How can they stand so long? How can they talk and not be short of breath?”

I share this sense of wonder when I see average people completing normal, everyday tasks with ease. I sometimes question how a person can have enough energy to get through a full day of work without immediately crash landing on the couch. For me, watching the average person function is akin to seeing a superhero leap tall buildings in a single bound. If I think back, I know that at one time I was healthy enough to do it all, but it’s as if I’m remembering a dream, not real life.

Standing is incredibly difficult for me because my blood pressure slowly drops the longer I’m upright. (To a lesser extent, this also happens with sitting upright.) Unless I shift my weight around, walk, or do something else to circulate my blood, my brain gradually runs out of oxygen the longer I remain standing still.

I used to have no analogy for this kind of feeling, other than a fogginess in my mind and a feeling of urgency to move or lie down. I mean, even though my brain is slowly being deprived of oxygen, I still look entirely normal on the outside. What do people think when I start to have trouble following their conversation or finding words? Do I look thoughtless when I ask a question they just answered 5 minutes ago? Do I appear stupid when I have to think hard about simple responses? Does it seem odd that I can walk over to greet someone but shift away uneasily while we converse? All these questions go through my mind.

Standing for me is similar to lifting a heavy weight above your head. At first, you can hold the weight up without much of a problem. Sure, it’s heavy, but it’s possible.

Then your arms begin to shake as your muscles fatigue. Soon, you can feel your body crying out to put this weight down. As you power through every message your body is sending you to STOP, you eventually find that you cannot will yourself to go on any longer. Your arms suddenly reach the breaking point and collapse under the weight that at first was manageable. It’s the same way standing feels to a person with dysautonomia. The initial stance may be manageable, but the longer I stand, the more urgently my body signals me to sit, sit, sit! If I ignore these signals for too long, I can eventually collapse.

Another problem that I deal with regularly is severe fatigue (usually with muscle aches). Saying these words makes it sound like a nice nap or a day in bed will have me back up in no time. However, my invisible illness is not cured by sleep, and in fact, my fatigue is often at its worst during the hours after I wake up! I have had a hard time describing this type of exhaustion to the average person. There is just nothing like it when you are young and healthy with endless energy. The closest description that matches this feeling is when you have the flu. The flu makes every single muscle in your body ache, and moving feels like you are fighting through molasses. People who have had the flu or even mono can understand this feeling.

When this crushing exhaustion is unrelenting for months and years, it is not possible to maintain a normal life. Imagine how having the flu disrupts normal life for a week or two. Now think about what it would be like to have the flu all the time. It’s important to remind others that even though I look normal, I’m actually putting forth 3 times the typical amount of effort to get through a particular activity, and afterward, I “pay” for an event with worsening symptoms for days after it’s over.

I’ve been thinking carefully about these analogies for some time, and I’m writing about them not to get sympathy, but to spread awareness of what it’s physically like to live in a body limited by chronic illness. Each person with chronic illness probably has a particular symptom that disables them more than others, and some are more severely disabled than others, but the result is the same – trying to operate as normally as possible while feeling very far from normal.

Next time you meet someone who seems confused, distracted, or has trouble following your conversation… next time someone tells you they are just too exhausted to make it out… next time you meet someone with a chronic illness, remember that though they may appear normal, it’s quite possible they are fighting through physical suffering greater than you could ever imagine.

National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week is revealing the struggles behind the smile.

Kristen first experienced chronic illness at the age of 17. Due to serious mold and pesticide exposures, her nervous system and immune system became damaged, leaving her chemically sensitive and unable to maintain her summer job or to remain at her first college.

Due to disability accommodations, a healthy amount of determination, and God’s generous favor, she moved back home and went on to earn both a Bachelor of Science and a master’s degree in biomedical engineering. By that time, her symptoms caught up with her, and just before graduation, she was incapacitated with what was diagnosed as POTS/dysautonomia.

This dysfunction of her autonomic nervous system left her struggling to sit up, stand, or walk, and she had to adapt to a new normal. Now 28, she lives within her limitations, working part-time from home, and learning how to depend on God more than ever before. Read more at her blog.

Be Your Doctor’s Favorite Patient: Learn to Twitter!

This article is free to reprint on your blog, web site, newsletter, etc. Please keep everything “as is” including the resource footer at the end. Thanks!

If chronic illness or pain is a part of your life, the odds are that at one point you have been requested by a physician to keep a log about your activities and pain levels, especially what led up to your pain being most intense. He may have suggested that you write down specific activities, your diet and exercise behaviors, and even your patterns of sleep.

If you have attempted to take this on and do it thoroughly, you know that it can be an overwhelming feeling to keep track of all of your activities and still maintain a sense of normal life. It can be extremely helpful, however, to you and your medical team, to have a written record of your activities, diet, etc. to help discover what is it is causing you the greatest pain. Was that extreme flare caused by a minor food allergy, the weather conditions, or that you were up all night with friends?

It is somewhat ironic that while we may find it a burdensome task to record what we are eating, who we are with, how much we slept, and how we are feeling, millions of people are doing this daily on Twitter. They write what they ate for lunch, if they have a migraine, and if they are up at 2 a.m. working. . . and they call it fun!

It’s time for those of us with a chronic illness to get Twitter to work for us! This social networking tool has been used for dieting records, exercise logs, and even encouragement to stop smoking. Why not for chronic pain record-keeping?

Here are 5 steps to put this into place:

[1] Create an account at Twitter just for your log of chronic pain. If you are already a Twitterer, set up a new one that will remain private. Under the “settings” options, you can choose to have to approve anyone who wants to follow you. Since this is your pain log, you likely will not wish to any followers. Note that if you already have a twitter account this can seem odd, to not want to increase the number of followers.

[2] You can now write your posts at any time. You are restricted to 140 characters, but this keeps it to be a less cumbersome task. You can always submit more than one post to describe a particular situation. Set up your account so that you are able to send text messages from your cell phone so you can make posts from anywhere, not just at the computer.

[3] Remember to post at the very least any major events that are not part of your typical day and your body’s response to them. For example a post may include how you woke up feeling, major weather influences, if you took extra medication, or if you are active or solitary during the day. You can post whatever information may be of value to you at some point.

[4] Before your doctor’s appointment log on to Twitter and print out the pages if your doctor would like a copy of them. Highlight any major activities that could have created ups and downs in your pain level.

[5] If you already use twitter for personal or business reasons, consider using a service that will post to more than one account at a time so that you are regular tweets that share where you are and what you are doing can also post to your twitter chronic pain log without any additional effort.

The market for Twitter applications will continue to grow and there is no doubt that’s those considering medical Web 2.0 tools will come up with some fancy (and complicated) ways to record your pain levels. But for now you can have a thorough log of your chronic illness and pain levels in just minutes at no cost. You can’t beat that!
