In this issue: Come join in the last spoonie linkup party of the year! Chronic illness is NOT a competition. When even you start questioning the validity of your own pain. We’re all different and that’s wonderful. A roadtrip survival guide for spoonies. A photographer captures the final year with her parents’ dual cancer diagnosis. Missing life before Lupus. Recycled wedding flowers bring a smile to patients. Tips for coping with chronic pain, and being intentional about it.
Last #Spoonie #LinkupParty for the Year! – It's always so interesting to note the similarities w #chronicillness, & also the influences from both culture & your #individuality 🙂 https://t.co/4fLiHubdSL #chroniclife #linkup
