One of the chronic pain conditions Sarah is living with is called Interstitial Cystitis or IC (also known as BPS or Bladder Pain Syndrome), something she ad never heard of until her diagnosis. Many people with IC/BPS go to multiple doctors before finally having a name for their pain. Having IC/BPS is bad enough. Being demoralized by interactions with healthcare providers who are dismissive simply compounds the pain. She is grateful to now have a wonderful team of medical providers, even though it took quite a while to assemble them.

My hope is that my work may inspire empathy and compassion for those living with chronic pain. Sometimes the deepest, most unbearable pain is the kind you cannot see.
