I realize folks are awkward, and don't know what to say, but "You don't look sick" is pretty ridiculous! 🙄 

I hope folks will boost this. Help educate folks so they'll stop saying it so much!

Like @54f3f112 , sometimes I say "Good thing I don't look as bad as I feel!" with a smile 😉

Folks with disabling chronic illnesses often mask symptoms while doing errands. And folks see us only when we're well enough to leave the house.
