Post Body

I haven't worked for 19 months. The story basically is I wanted to leave the U.S., but apparently I have fibromyalgia and then I threw my back out and had to do months of physical therapy to be able to move without a walker. I've been looking for work for 6 months.

I don't know how to explain my recent job gap beyond saying I had health issues and I am back on the market. Should I be saying something different? Do I put an entry on my resume or linkedin that addresses that? And if so, what would that even look like?
