Sept 14-20 is National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week - no joke.  How cool is that?  http://invisibleillnessweek.com/

I found this site to have some interesting & helpful tidbits as well as ideas & materials for generating more awareness.

Also, check out this great list of responses to the comment we all love - "But you look so good!"  http://invisibleillnessweek.com/?p=1554

This is super! A great excuse for me to try and educate my family about IC. Thanks!There are so many "invisible illnesses" out there, it definitely makes me see others differently as you just never know what someone could be experiencing. How many times have I wished someone understand how terrible I felt on any given day (particularly at work) but no one has any clue. This must be the case much more often than any of us think.

I even had a doctor recently tell me that! "Well, you look good" he said!  And basically ignored anything I said about my problems and send me off with a prescription for a depression med!
