Recently I've been part of discussions about how it feels to hide certain disabilities, because they're embarrassing. Too Much Information (TMI) about time spent in the toilet, about being unable to leave the house because of needing to rush to yet another toilet, about clothes suddenly becoming far too tight. Even naming Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) usually gets a laugh and a shrug. Often people like me don't feel safe to mention why we don't apply for full-time jobs.
Now the IBS Network is raising
this petition 'Recognise it's not 'just' Irritable Bowel Syndrome' here in Britain. I've signed - have you? What's happening in your country?
