People who suffer from this are often totally disabled in that there are few jobs in which a person is able to lie down, and not required to stand or sit for extended periods of time. Sufferers in the United States are unseen because of a lack of suitable mass transit, and the lack of public places to lie down in a socially acceptable manner. Suffers often remain at home even though they may be totally ambulatory. (Please note that although a wheel cart is mentioned, despite the need, there is no company that mass produces them.)

Famous quotes containing the word see:
“To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self- congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes.”
—Clifford Geertz (b. 1926)
