I write a weekly post related to Fibromyalgia. I focus largely on new research and do a deep dive into this chronic illness but I inject humor, inspiration and my personal struggles and victories into every blog. I also post a weekly editorial piece about topics that are on my heart. I call my blog Cut The Chronic because I want my posts to cut the crap of chronic illness by focusing on intentional living where I make good self care choices to feel better. As a chronic pain and mental illness sufferer, I only have so much energy to spend each day. My approach to my illnesses involves choosing behaviors and habits that minimize my pain and mood swings so I can live a more dynamic life. I’m passionate about sharing my strategies. I plan to grow my blog with more posts about mental illness and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Spoiler: I’m passionate about food but IBS and Gastroparesis severely limit what I can eat. I’m a pretty damn good home cook so I’m writing a FODMAP cookbook for IBS sufferers. Stay tuned!
