They schedule appointments, undergo testing, follow recommendations, and hope to find an explanation. Sometimes they do. But for others, the process is far more complicated.

One of the most difficult challenges is the lack of recognition and understanding surrounding these experiences. An Often Invisible Struggle Many conditions are visible to others. A cast on a broken arm can be seen. A wheelchair can be seen. A bandage can be seen. Persistent odor conditions are different.
