I have an invisible illness. I've already blogged about it this week, but today I found out that it's Invisible Illness Week! How fantastic considering Vulvodynia doesn't really have a week or a month of any sorts.
Coincidentally, this week has been one of my biggest flare ups. I'm still stuck in leggings and tunics and itching to wear my jeans and lace tops. I bought new leggings from Roots today, 98% cotton and absolutely amazing. However, the bad/poor leggings from earlier this week have resulted in some unpleasent chaffing... but that might be a little tmi.
