Hi there! I’m Susan Pearson, let me tell you a little about me. Thank you for visiting my little part of cyberspace. As you’ve probably guessed from the title I am the proud owner of Fibromyalgia, and I’m trying to do everything I can to make sure I own it and don’t let it own me.

Although I write quite a lot about Fibromyalgia and Spoonie Life. That does not define me and so I write about how I live with Fibro too.

My Mission

I am here to show you how you can not just survive but thrive when living with Fibromyalgia

My Motto

Creativity

I’m a keen crafter and I’ve been making my own greetings cards for over half of my life. I have to admit I’d consider myself a failure if I had to buy one! I have written blog posts about how I have adapted my crafting because of the Fibro.

Being Productive

I’m a bit of an organisation freak, although I never have enough spoons to keep the house as tidy as I would like. I very much live in the real world of Fibromyalgia not just in the pages of my Pinterest or Instagram. I talk about this in the Organisation category.

Life

I married Michael in 2015, he is incredibly supportive and probably knows as much about Fibromyalgia as I do. For the first few years we lived on the top floor of my parent’s house, which logistically had it’s problems. In 2019 we rented our house in a lovely village about ten miles away from there. My life used to be a lot bigger than it is now, but I have over time adjusted to the unavoidable changes Fibro brought.

My Other Blogs

This blog is the longest running, I started it in 2016, although it has had a few facelifts and moved house a couple of times. I am really proud that I have kept it going when various bloggers who started out at the same time as me have given up.

As well as my creativity and organisation that I talk about from the perspective of being a spoonie. I am also heaving into tech, personal knowledge management, productivity and genealogy. I talk about these topics over at Creative Fibro’s Digital World. Sometimes I just want to talk about a topic that doesn’t really fit in anywhere else and you can find these posts at Creative Fibro Off Topic.
