Not sure if I’m looking for advice or just to vent, but I’m currently away in London and using the tube regularly. It’s very hot and I struggle to stand for longer periods of time because of it (heart & joints). Obviously with EDS being an invisible illness, no one knows I’m struggling and therefore will offer seats up to others who are visibly in need but obviously don’t for people like us. I’m wondering if there is a recognised badge or anything for invisible illnesses? I know the sunflower is the symbol for invisible disabilities in the UK, but do we even class as having a disability? So difficult 🤦‍♀️
