Many symptoms of lupus are invisible, such as chronic pain, fatigue, migraines and sun sensitivity.
It important to treat people with respect, understand their needs, and avoid making assumptions about what someone is going through as you cannot always see it.

In the centre of some bone white linen, there is a spine embroidery in thick satin stitch. Emanating from the spine are thick burgundy lines in an undulant oval shape. This oval is bisected across the middle. In the top half, there is a section outlined in burgundy filled with coiling blue lines and a similar section in the bottom half. The rest of the undulant oval is filled with fine coiling burgundy lines. The spine is very straight, the rest of the embroidery is very coiled and busy. Lia’s initials are stitched in fine thread the same colour as the cloth at the bottom right.
For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: One of my more debilitating symptoms is hyperacusis—a sensitivity to sound & vibration—that causes pain & extreme fatigue. This #embroidery, sensorium (2018), depicts that hypersensitivity. I also wrote a piece of music about this. Listen here: ko-fi.com/s/872acbb154

"A disabled person who cannot work, gets less than the LIVING WAGE in out-of-work benefits.
Less than what's assessed to be
required to survive.
Less than anyone in a full-time job will get.
THERE IS NO INCENTIVE."

An embroidery on deep purple linen. There is a purple outline of a feminine right hand from the side, palm up, fingers curled slightly inward. There are many tiny white French knots covering the fingertips and light blue, gold, and navy French knots on parts of the palm. There are fine filigree lines connecting many of the French knots and white strands of thread strung from each fingertip to an apex above the hand. There is a starburst floating above the palm in white and light blue.
For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: The paresthesia/tingling in my hands doesn't usually interfere with my day to day but it worsens during my migraines. This #symptomatology #embroidery maps one of those days: push, pull, & tingle (2018)

This week is #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek 🌍
Conditions like #PKU may not be visible, but their impact is real.
Disability systems must evolve to recognize invisible challenges — support should depend on need, not appearance.

Psoriatic disease affects more than skin and joints — it can bring pain, fatigue, & emotional challenges too. As we near the end of #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, let’s remind each other that what’s invisible still matters. A little empathy can make a big difference.

(7/7) This #invisibledisabilitiesweek, we encourage anyone who is comfortable doing so to speak up about your own experiences with invisible disability so we can #seetheinvisible. People living with invisible disabilities should not be excluded from discussions surrounding disability.

An embroidery on black linen. There is the outline of an open mouth with the tongue sticking out. The lips are outlined in dark pink, the tongue in paler pink, & the teeth in bone white. There are sections outlined on the tongue in thick blue lines. The tip & sides of the tongue are covered in tiny red, orange & white dots. In the center there is an hourglass shape of tiny pink dots. There are taut lines of thin dark blue thread stretched from the tip of the tongue to the sides, from the sides of the tongue to the lips & palate, & from the palate to the tip of the tongue.
For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: One of my more disconcerting #MECFS symptoms is the paresthesia/tingling on my tongue. It worsens whenever I overextend myself. This #symptomatology #embroidery maps how my tongue usually feels: paresthesia (tongue 2) 2018
Thanks to the Neurological Alliance of Ireland for raising awareness of those living with invisible, unseen or hidden neurological symptoms.
Many people living with #FND have such symptoms and awareness and education is critical to feel more visible and understood. 💚🧡

Five cartoon ghosts with varied expressions float on a night sky backdrop. The text reads, "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not haunting me." Below, "Invisible Disabilities Week" is highlighted. "MultipleSclerosisNewsToday.com" is noted as source at bottom.
You’re seen. You’re heard. And your experience is valid, no matter how invisible it is to outsiders. https://bit.ly/48KvOD4
Let’s keep raising awareness for all struggling with “ghostly,” unseen battles.

"Most disabled people don't claim disability benefits... Many of those would be eligible, but they either choose not to, or are alienated from the process by how horrific it is. People vastly overestimate how many claim, how we are deemed eligible, and how much we get."

Graphic for Invisible Disabilities Week. The background is a white brick wall with large orange Long Covid SOS stamp design in the right top of wall. Bold stencil-style text reads: “Invisible Disabilities Week. October 19–25 (in black) Listen (dark green) Believe (teal) Support.” is in orange and underlined in black, and the Long Covid SOS logo appears at the bottom right also in black
Invisible Disabilities Week is Oct 19–25
Not all disabilities are visible - but they deserve recognition, respect & support
For people with #LongCovid, disbelief has real consequences.
Invisible doesn’t mean imaginary.

A pelvis with lumbar vertebrae is stitched in thick backstitch in a white just slightly bluer than the white linen. Part of the iliac vein is outlined in grey-green stem stitch. A section on the left branch is outlined in darker grey-green split stitch with a honeycomb filling stitch stent on it. Intricate turbulence is stitched in single strand dark aquamarine backstitch within the iliac vein. Three blocks of text are stitched in dark grey. They read: Branches of the internal. A single trunk. A stem which opens. Deep. Deep. Deep. Dilated. A tributary. A portal. Lia’s initials stitched in white thread on the bottom left.
For #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek: May Thurner Syndrome (#IliacVein compression syndrome) seems to be a common comorbidity with #MECFS. This #symptomatology #embroidery is based off a venogram of my stent: deep dilation (2025)
Just because someone looks “fine” and “okay” doesn’t mean they can’t be fighting a constant battle. Be kind!
