This year, Disability History Month ran from 18th November until 18th December, and focused on the theme of hidden illnesses.
Throughout the month members of EEAST’s Disability Support Network shared their own experiences of living with a hidden illness, and how it affects them on a day-to-day basis, here on Need to Know.
