Just because you’re chronically ill doesn’t mean you can’t be fabulous. It just makes you chronically fabulous <3 I don’t use my IV pole for my TPN often because it’s a disaster being in a chair so I mainly use backpacks but I loveee decorating my medical supplies! So with $1 washi tape, duct tape, and $3 lights from target my IV pole and pump can be chronically fab too! Even added a small piece of washi tape on my tegaderm because why not haha

Hi! I was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness and while it doesn't constantly directly affect my daily life, I've still really been struggling with it. First I'd like to say I love and appreciate your blog- I had no idea that there were blogs that supported people with chronic illnesses. Also, can you recommend some more support blogs for physical chronic illness? Thank you!

Yeah, of course!! Here are some supportive blogs as well as rad spoonies macklepour

There’s always a strange hopefulness when you have a chronic illness and you start a new medication.

So you may remember me saying I did a photoshoot, walking stick and all. I got the first few images today and I’m actually blown away by how lovely they’ve turned out. My self esteem was suffering for needing to use a mobility aid but these photos have proved to me you can sure as hell be beautiful with a walking stick.

I don’t know how to deal with warm weather anymore.  Which is ridiculous, because if you’d told me last summer that I would be calling seventy-five degrees “warm” I would laugh at you. Fun fact: there’s a chance I’ve broken a toe on my left foot, so naturally I decided to wear high heeled boots to go run errands.

[One image of a young woman (me) with medium purple hair that’s just brushing my shoulders.  I have hot pink tape along the upper two-thirds or so of my left arm.  I am also leaning on metallic, pink cane that I am holding in my left hand.  I have on a crop top that is made of tapestry-like material; it’s got a bunch of brown, pink, and cream flowers on a black background.  It also has an attached hood, which I’m wearing up.  I’m wearing black high waisted shorts over pale pink tights which have a tie dye pattern that my camera didn’t really pick up.  I also have on dark brown boots that button on the sides.  As always, I’m wearing my black rectangular glasses.]
