How To Explain To People
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, how do you all explain your illness when people ask. I walk with a stick or im in a wheelchair and people do that " oh what you done now" but i find ot hard to explain whats up without diagrams and lists.

Lol, that's a great way PattiQuigleyVirostek. I personally ask people to explain their worse experience with flu, then I tell them that's me every day. Take care :)
