As you found with your friends inviting you out for drinks and loud music - they see you looking quite well and people think there can't be much wrong

When friends don't quite get it, send them the link to the YouTube series "You Look Great" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9Xso...ature=youtu.be

It will open their eyes to what you are going through.

Sospan I am so sorry to hear that.
I said to my husband I wish I had something large sticking out the side of my head so people can see there has been an injury.

Yes...I often think 'fragile: handle with care' should be written across my forehead.
