Living with a chronic illness day in and day out can be often debilitating beyond imagination. Most of the time it's not so much the chronic illness as the people around that do not understand what you are going through that can be hard to live with. Fortunately there is a wonderful site online that not only has wonderful information, tips, recipes, product reviews and such for those living with chronic illnesses but there is a community message board which for all who are members is a home away from home. It's the best place to connect with people who understand and are often in the same situations you are and living with a debilitating chronic illness. www.butyoudontlooksick.com/boards/

Christine Meserandino is the founder and creator of the "Spoon Theory" www.butyoudontlooksick.com/the_spoon_theory/. Living herself with Lupus she not only founded this site but is an inspiration for all of us who are living with a chronic illness. She is a true testament to living life to the fullest and making your dreams come true no matter what your circumstances.

ButYouDontLookSick.com is informative and loving and comfort all in the same place. All the members agree that it's the best place online to be.

"Whether you want to visit the home page and read our myriad of articles, tips and stories, or visit our Message Boards, But You Don't Look Sick? is a home away from home. It's the perfect place to find Acceptance and understanding, no matter what illness you suffer from. I have been on the message boards for 3 yrs now and i log in every day to visit my Spoonie Family. I love my home here in Spoonville."

It is truly a place filled with love and support

This site truly is my home away from home. I have made friendships on this site that will last me a lifetime not to mention the support and understanding of hundreds of others who are facing the same daily difficulties as myself.

Whenever I need, I come to the site and read articles, get tips on kitchen gadgets that work for arthritis, meal plan ideas for the days that it hurts too much to cook, or just go to the chat room and catch up with others.

Sounds like a really cool site. I have spinal stenosis and have my own issues with doing things other can easily do. I'll have to check it out. Great job on this!
