Today is Put On Purple For Lupus Awareness day! Lupus is an autoimmune disease that affects over 5 million people. It’s an invisible disability, meaning that you cannot tell how sick someone is, or how much pain they are in, by looking. I suffer from an invisible disability as well. Being disabled in a way that is not visible means that on top of the chronic pain & fatigue, you also have to deal with judgement from others who don’t understand what you are going through.
It’s important to spread awareness, understanding and compassion for others. I encourage all of you to post a purple cosplay or clothing photo with the hashtag to spread the word. Today I’m sharing my Medusa cosplay for #PutOnPurpleCosplays in support of my fellow spoonies. Be kind to others. You never know what they are going through.
