About the Blog

Welcome, to small little blog where I get to just be me and it's enough. And you get to just be you and it's enough. We can make this a safe place to share our war stories. This is a place where I'm going to be very frank and honest with you, I'm going to tell you straight up, that this is what it looks like to live with pain, a lot of pain. You can have a chance to understand that if you choose to, or you can walk away from it that’s okay to. Alternatively, you can dive in and learn how to empathize with a life lived immersed in pain.. If you've never encountered someone with these conditions it’s a great way to broaden your perspective, as there are lots of people all around you living with invisible illnesses*. A person does not have to look sick to be sick. If you do struggle with similar conditions and you can find some comfort in the camaraderie of reading familiar tales, I can share my trials and joys, and I invite you to share yours. There will eventually be a section called Our Journey's that will be updated with weekly submissions because, I would love to hear your stories too. If you create art or have a hobby that helps you cope share it and I'll post that! to the new page called Ways to Cope. One major goal of mine is I want to help end the isolation we feel as patients with chronic illnesses, and maybe a small way that can start is by being brave enough to share how our journey's started. If you want to email in your stories about your journey's email to elysiab.submissions@gmail.com. The goal is to raise awareness of invisible illnesses, through broadening the public's perspective of what doing life with multiple chronic conditions looks like. All I can say so far, is that it looks like you can live with a great deal against you, and still live a very full and happy life.
