Why "Fatigue" Doesn't Capture It – Reviewing The Invisible Kingdom by Meghan O'Rourke

Have you ever tried to explain your fatigue to someone and watched their eyes glaze over? Because when most people hear the word "fatigue," they think tired. But you and I both know it is so much more than that. The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness by Meghan O'Rourke is a memoir that finally puts words to what so many women with chronic illness have been feeling for years. O'Rourke spent decades searching for answers, navigating a medical system that was not built for people like her, and learning — slowly — how to move forward without a tidy resolution. Her first diagnosis was Hashimoto's, and the story she tells will feel very familiar. In this bonus episode, I'm reviewing The Invisible Kingdom by Meghan O'Rourke.
