About Christine:

Christine Miserandino is a writer, blogger, speaker and patient advocate from NY, USA and the owner of But You Don't Look Sick Health Blog and e-magazine. She also happens to be someone who is living with Lupus. Her writing has been featured in numerous newspapers, magazines, medical newsletters and television media. She has been interviewed for today's CNN.com "empowered patient" column. Christine is being honored at the Lupus Alliance Lupus Gala Brunch! We are VERY proud to know Christine and see all the good she is doing for people all over the world how she is enlightening people and empowering them to be active in their healthcare and treatment options. And extremely proud to be able to help others to see her story and find peace knowing they are NOT all alone out there.
From the age of fifteen, Christine Miserandino has been diagnosed with a myriad of illnesses from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to Epstein Barr, and finally, many years later to a determination of Lupus. Though battling a shopping list of symptoms, Christine has consistently been told, by both well-wishers and doctors alike, "But you don't look sick" as if that was some kind of compensation for being chronically ill. Many times, being pretty or not sickly looking, makes it harder to validate an illness you cannot see.
