Shop HIDDEN
People who live with invisible illnesses & disabilities, such as Sjogren’s and dysautonomia, often lose their ability to earn
because their work performance is compared to that of a healthy, able person’s.
Many are forced to change careers and start small businesses to make ends meet.
Many choose to pivot careers to share what they’ve learned.
SUPPORT THOSE WHO SUPPORT YOU
If you live with invisible illness and/or disability,
you know the pain of being neglected and feeling isolated.
