Why subscribe?

Because here, you don’t have to explain. You can just be who you are: tired, sore, and feeling like you live with a house guest who won’t leave, eats all your snacks, and screams at 3:00 AM for absolutely no reason.

This is where chronic illness meets science, mindfulness and poetry. Less “just relax,” more “here’s how and why”. Subscribe for more calm, cameraderie, empowerment over chronic pain, and the occasional poem.

I’m James, a spoonie with axial spondyloarthritis.

Be empowered over your chronic illness

I’ve decided to learn more about chronic illness, mindfulness, and the real science behind what the hell is going on in my body, because I wanted to take ownership of my illness instead of it owning me. I’m here to share what I’m learning about.

Cameraderie

The feeling of being with someone who gets it is priceless, and one of the best medicines out there. Even if you don’t want to interact, just knowing that you’re there, reading, is just wonderful.
