Does anybody else with an invisible disability get fed up of hearing their own voice over and over again explaining your disability?

Hi @Roland.
Welcome aboard the great ship (Scope About Disability)
Yes I'm in the same "boat" as you.
I think the term is "Banging your Head against a Brick Wall" -
Hi
Yes definitely, can we help at all? -
Hi @roland:
I can empathize. I don't get asked too often about my visible disability anymore, but I used to a lot when I was younger. Now I think people see me as older and aren't really intrigued anymore .
How do you deal with it? -
am fed up of people not believing I have an illness because it is invisible!!
-
Well don't explain then? I only explain to those who I absolutely have to.

Yes both my daughter and I have an invisabie disability (EDS)
Especially when we use the blue badge. We get a few judgemental looks
