Start Here: Living Creatively with Fibro – Your Roadmap

This guide is here to introduce new readers to popular topics like: diagnosis, symptom management, spoonie lifestyle and low-energy creativity. Jump to the sections below of explore my full content. The most important posts do tend to be quite long form, broken up into helpful sections. Although I do share much shorter posts in between.

This is where we explore how to live Creatively with Fibromyalgia and similar Chronic Illnesses. It is my mission to show you how you can not just survive, but thrive when living with Fibro. I offer a mixture of practical tips and resources and hopefully a little inspiration , alongside sharing my creative endeavours, which I believe act as both a distraction, but also a form of therapy.

Why is this blog for you?

Do you suspect you have Fibromyalgia or a similar chronic illness? Are you on the journey to diagnosis?

Any of these reasons or others I may not have thought of, I am grateful to have you here and hope you find value in these pages.
