Invisible Illnessess 

Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue
Lupus, Sarcoidosis,
Hepatitis, Diabetes
Multiple Sclerosis.

Crohn's Disease, Thyroid Disease
Coeliac as well,
Rheumatoid Arthritis
All causing people hell.

Allergies, Food in tolerance
Depression, IBS,
Chronic Myofashal Pain
Invisible illness? Yes.

CIDP and PBC
Clinical Depression,
UC and PNH
All these I must mention.

Don't assume they're lazy
Or faking any pain,
These invisible illnessess
Do drive folks insane.

Lyme Disease, Infertility
Heart conditions too,
Headaches and Migraines
These are just a few.

So have a heart and listen
When telling you how they feel,
You can't see invisible illnessess 
But believe me! They are real.

I like this because we are so ready to offer help and sympathy to those with visible illnesses but are invariably suspicious of those who, because of an invisible complaint, are regarded as malingering.

Good poem.
Thanks
Keith
