Woman bravely posts bikini photos to show the truth about her 'invisible' illness

"What you don't know is that she is battling a very debilitating disease and that it will take her days to recover from a single trip out of the house. She tries to be as happy as possible, she tries her damn best not to complain and to think positive

Some days it's very hard to see the light and she wants you to be understanding, caring and compassionate."

"Please don't tut at me for using a disabled toilet, my ileostomy bag just leaked and I need privacy and room to change it. Please don't expect me to give up my seat on the train, I just had a very exhausting day out and although I look well, I am suffering majorly and need this time to rest. Please be aware and always be kind to others around you. As they say, you have NO IDEA what that persons [sic] story is and what they are battling with."
