Welcome to Restivida
Living with a Chronic or Invisible Illness sucks and you don’t have to be alone any more! Thanks so much for stopping by and welcome to our page! We’re so grateful and thrilled that you’ve decided to become a part of the Restivida family.
Our hope is that we can learn and grow with each other as we try to understand our invisible and chronic illnesses. Share your story with us. We want to hear from you.

Our mission is to provide tools to ease the struggles of living with invisible illnesses. We want to encourage restful sleep, management and offer suggestions for pain relief and an outlet to share what’s bothering you the most.
We will never sell any e-books, courses or printable material that can be of help in your relief journey. It’s just not fair. These items will always be free of charge no matter how much time was spent doing the research or compiling the data.
Wherever we can we will provide links to FREE or cheap resources. Because we want relief to be accessible to everyone!
