""But you look just fine...""

These words echo through the lives of millions suffering from invisible illnesses. In this powerful and transformative memoir, Michele Roys takes readers on an intimate journey through the hidden world of chronic pain and invisible illness.

When trigeminal neuralgia-dubbed the ""suicide disease"" for its excruciating pain-struck without warning, Michele's life as she knew it shattered. Her voice, career, and independence vanished overnight. But from this darkness emerged something unexpected: a warrior's guide to reclaiming joy.

Through raw honesty and hard-won wisdom, Michele reveals:

The reality of living with an illness no one can see How to navigate a healthcare system that often dismisses women's pain The unexpected healing power of Latin dance and movement A spiritual journey that transforms suffering into strength Practical strategies for maintaining hope while battling invisible illness How to build a support system when others can't see your pain

This isn't just another story about chronic illness-it's a roadmap for anyone who's ever felt unheard, dismissed, or trapped in a body that feels foreign. Whether you're fighting your own battle with chronic pain, supporting someone who is, or simply trying to understand the complex dance between suffering and joy, this book will be your companion, your guide, and your reminder that you are never, ever alone.

Perfect for readers who loved ""The Invisible Kingdom,"" ""Brain on Fire,"" and ""When the Body Says No,"" this memoir offers both validation and hope for the 50 million Americans, 150 million Europeans, and over 1.5 billion people worldwide who live with chronic pain-many of whom are searching for ways to rediscover joy despite their condition.

Reviews for But You Look Just Fine: My Journey to Rediscover Joy Amidst Chronic Pain and Invisible Illness

""Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, supporting someone who is, or simply trying to understand the complex dance between suffering and joy, this book will be your companion, your guide, and your reminder that you are never, ever alone on this journey."" - Kris Carr, New York Times bestselling author, wellness coach & cancer thriver ""Michele exemplifies that the journey is the true objective. She gained so much personal growth and self-acceptance out of the journey, which dwarfs the earlier goal to be just pain-free. It shows her courage and moves me to tears."" - Dr. Petra Frese, Founder of Peak Mind Academy, Best-selling Author ""Michele transforms pain into purpose and shows that even in the darkest valleys, light can break through. Her exploration of holistic therapies, self-compassion, and finding joy amidst life's trials reminds us that healing is not a linear process."" - Lia Valencia Key, Founder of VALENCIA KEY ""A must-read to discover the power of self-love and possibility and to be able to share it so others can understand."" -Carol Register, SINC Certified Master Neurocoach ""But You Look Just Fine isn't just a tale of survival-it's a testament to the human spirit, the healing power of compassion, and the beauty of never losing faith, even in the hardest moments."" - Mina Grace Ward, Founder of The Graves' Disease Academy, Chef and Author ""Michele's journey is a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our struggles and that embracing vulnerability can be a path to healing. Her voice is a beacon of light for those navigating their own difficult journeys."" - Macarena Luz Bianchi, Speaker & CEO of Spark Social Press ""This isn't just a book; it's a validation, a permission slip to acknowledge the unseen struggles we endure. Michele's insights are like a warm embrace from someone who truly gets it."" - Kristin Ericksen, Founder- Break Free Make It Happen
