The diverse range of personal stories evoke despair, desperation and especially frustration at the lack of answers the medical community can get tese Fibro Bitches, Lupus Warriors, and other Superheroes battleing invisible illness. Above all, however, But You Don’t Look Sick is a powerful human showing of how opening to one’s pain generates chourage and helps spread awareness.
