We Need To Bring Awareness To Invisible Disabilities

Hi! I’m Elaina and I have Multiple Sclerosis. I was diagnosed in 2007 at 24 years old. I recently had to stop teaching due to my MS progressing. As my MS has progressed, I have realized how completely unaware people are of disabilities that are invisible. When I tell someone that I can’t stand too long, they look me up and down and often roll their eyes. I have even had a cashier make an announcement that I didn’t want people cutting in front of me in line and asked what the others behind me thought. (I was having a rough day and couldn’t stand much longer.) Some people are very rude and unkind. We need to raise awareness that not all disabilities can be seen!

My husband and I started an Etsy store to help replace some of my lost income since I stopped teaching. We have added several awareness items and we love creating custom orders. Please check out our Etsy store, Barber’s Craft Shop, barberscraftshop.etsy.com. We are also on Facebook and Instagram @barberscraftshop. I look forward to creating an order for you and helping raise awareness of invisible disabilities!

when people hear the word "disabilities" they think of people in wheelchairs or were born without legs. "Not all disabilities are visible" I LOVE THAT QUOTE!!! :D I grew up with a brother with multiple disabilities so this means a lot to me.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2014, I had no energy, I also had dizziness and balance issues. I read some studies about VineHealth Center natural MS Herbal Treatment and its effect on Multiple Sclerosis.” I immediately started on the treatment, within a few months I started to notice changes in symptoms. I noticed I had more energy and motivation; the body weakness and balance issues were also gradually disappearing. After I completed the treatment, I am happy to report that my Multiple Sclerosis is well under control. (Go to vinehealth center. c om)....

This is so important! Everyone deserves to be treated with equal respect for ALL disabilities, despite "how worse off" they look.
