Friday, 20 July 2018. Issue #119.
In this issue: Books curated for spoonies, but also relevant for our healthy friends! Your support is needed – clap as many times as you like for this article on Thrive Global. How fear destroys you without leaving a trace, and how to get back up. The absoluteness of being tired, when you live with chronic pain. Strategies to manage acute flare ups vs ‘regular’ pain days. In light of the recent Thai cave rescue, a look at the many diseases lurking underground. Summer can be an extra lonely time for those with chronic illnesses, while others gather and have fun. Some reflections on how fibromyalgia is a strict teacher, and the need to adapt or crash. Take a sneak peek into workshop one for the Gritty Hope course, and reserve your spot for the free live webinar.
