When Illness Is Invisible, So Are We
Advocating For The Invisible Illness & MCS
For those dismissed, disbelieved, and left out — because healing starts with being seen.
Millions live with invisible illnesses like MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity), PTSD, and fibromyalgia. It’s not “in your head”. And it’s not rare.
You might feel alone, but you’re not. If you’ve ever been told you’re just “too sensitive,” or left out because your illness isn’t visible, this space was made for you.
You’re not broken. You’re not crazy. You’re not alone.
My Story: From Survival to Advocacy
For years, I didn’t know what was happening to my body. Doctors dismissed my symptoms. I was told it was just anxiety. That I was overreacting. That I needed to try harder.
But the symptoms were real. My body was reacting. To fragrance. Cleaning products. Air fresheners. Even furniture.
I left churches, offices, even stores in tears. Sometimes I can’t even go outside my home due to dryer vent emissions from neighbors who use scented laundry products.
I started looking answers — and community. I learned about nervous system trauma, MCS, and the deep connection between synthetic fragrance and physical illness.
My Passion
What began as survival has become purpose. I know what it’s like to feel dismissed, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood.
So I share what I learn—the triggers I avoid, the treatments that help, and the little victories that matter when you’re living with chronic illness like MCS, PTSD, and fibromyalgia.
Healing should be real. Shared. Personal. And always rooted in honesty and hope.
Spreading awareness about invisible illness is part of that mission—because too many are suffering silently.

I’ve had MCS for the last 30 years and I did not even know what it was until I finally went to the right doctor who was able to tell me the real reason for all my migraines and other symptoms. It’s so important to spread awareness about MCS so that people will (hopefully) understand it more and stop using so much chemical fragrance in all of their products.
