Summary
When journalist Brooke Campbell Bayes was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, her world unravelled quickly, messily and, to almost everyone around her, invisibly.

Searching for something to help her understand this new reality, Brooke found plenty of medical information, but very little about how to actually live with chronic illness: the grief, guilt and isolation. So, she wrote the book she wished she'd had.

In But You Don't Look Sick, Brooke combines her own experience alongside personal conversations with well-known Australians, including Michael Klim, Jamila Rizvi and Osher G�nsberg. She pulls back the curtain on lives that may look shiny from the outside, revealing the hidden battles being fought. Alongside practical tips from Dr Lisa Grech and Dr Kate McBride, they share what chronic illness has taken, what it has taught them and the hard-won wisdom that has helped them navigate their way through.

For those living with chronic illness or disability - and the people who love them - this book offers a lifeline of honesty, comfort and connection.
