As you know if you read a few posts down, due to my health I had to close my larger chronic illness niche blog. It was just too hard to sustain with any consistency at all. Pretty much the same deal with everything really. But I didn't mention I haven't really been able to read… Continue reading I miss fiction writing
I know chronic pain. I know it far too well. And the thing about pain is that it kills you slowly but doesn't actually kill you. There is no damage to be seen by anyone. Even if you are screaming on the inside no one can see a thing on the outside. It is nothing… Continue reading The decline in health and fear of the unknown

I was talking to someone who felt like they had no purpose and meaning in life which I am sure we have at all, at one time or another, related to. Certainly, with chronic pain and vertigo being disabled you sort of struggle with that sense of purpose when you lose a lot of functionality.… Continue reading Purpose and Meaning in life
So in mid-February I had COVID. With Asthma it was a bit rough even with being fully vaccinated. Unfortunately, some symptoms have just lingered and lingered and lingered. I am chronically ill though. So it is really hard to say if something else has gone off because of that or for some other reason or… Continue reading Lingering COVID
So we have had a shortage of rapid tests around here for some time but my boyfriend went to the pharmacy and they finally had some. He got two boxes free (one for me and him). I guess that you get a free one every couple of weeks depending on supplies. I had a cold… Continue reading Yep, I have COVID-19
I did this test today. One of those career tests that tells which facets of you personality are dominate and which fields you should focus on for life satisfaction. Unsurprisingly mine where 'Thinking' and 'Creating' as dominate traits. Pretty much on par with each other. The banker and the inauthentic self Prior to becoming disabled… Continue reading Depression, our career choices, and the authentic self
I'm a disabled writer. I have mentioned it. I have fibromyalgia, chronic migraine with aura and chronic vertigo. So I have to write at peak times before the dizziness gets severe from the vestibular disorder. But, pain, is another thing altogether. It fluctuates. And varies. And then smacks you up side the head and you… Continue reading The Migraine Attack
I have been disabled since the end of 2017. Prior to that I struggled to work with fibromyalgia and chronic daily migraine with aura. Which was Not sunshine and rainbows. And, yeah, I developed a long enduring depression which I think is pretty freaking normal given the hell of working in such pain, but whatever.… Continue reading The disabled writer: MS

I have had a longlasting bout of depression that I am now on medication for. I am talking a decade of Major Depressive Disorder. I don't mean a bit of ennui although, yeah, I get that too... don't we all? But depression is a beast. It is quite effective medication for me. And you hear… Continue reading Creativity and depression
This is my newest book publication. It isn't under my pen name, as that is for fiction. This is a humor based book about chronic pain. Do you have pain? Have you had pain so long that you don't even remember what not pain feels like? I mean is that even a thing? Not feeling… Continue reading The Chronic Pain Manual
