“But you don’t LOOK sick…"
How many times have you or your loved one heard this statement? Primary Immunodeficiencies are known as invisible illnesses, which means patients may experience common symptoms such as ear infections, sinus infections, and more, but they may not “look” sick.
Invisible illnesses are very real, and we encourage you to listen and offer support to your friends and family living with invisible illnesses so that they feel seen and understood. Ask questions if you’re curious or want to learn more!
Let’s work together to create a culture of kindness and support as we continue to advocate for early diagnosis and accurate treatment.
