This article hits close to home! I'm 43 and have an invisible illness . Sarah what you aren't reading and ARE misinformed about which probably means you don't have a loved one with a invisible illness, for a placard you don't have to meet ALL seven of those criteria ( THANK God) ! My illness changes from day to day effects my heart and when I enter a store I might feel fine but when I leave I can be on the verge of passing out or in excruciating pain. What I deal with and what my condition is is nobody's business! My DOCTORS say I need the parking plaquard or I wouldn't have it. I try my best to look normal and not let the illness run my life I won't let people that want to judge what they don't understand run my life either! I get those notes often , I don't read them I throw them away , my 13 year old son gets upset when we get the nasty glares, I say let them watch because if I pass out at least someone is watching to call for help ;) parents wanted me to make a sticker to explain my disease for cars .. I don't have to explain myself to strangers!!
