Do you ever feel that everyone who has a chronic invisible illness like Lyme, ME, fibromyalgia, or MCS deserves an award for everything we deal with? Me too! Continue reading “The Spoonie Awards (Because We All Deserve a Medal): Part One”

Hi! I'm Vicki. My blog is called "Miss Diagnoses" because I have too many diagnoses and because my Lyme disease was misdiagnosed for many years.
In addition to being a professional patient, I'm a compulsive reader and doodler. Sadly, my writing and drawing are limited by repetitive strain injury and neuropathy. I use assistive technology, but I can't post as often as I'd like. You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and I have two short cartoon videos on YouTube.

Spoonie Guest Artist: Nicole a.k.a. @artful_agony
Welcome to my second Spoonie Guest Artist post. I started following Nicole on Instagram because I fell in love with her gloriously sarcastic and painfully funny collage art. Her work is one of the reasons I started this series. Continue reading “Spoonie Guest Artist: Nicole a.k.a. @artful_agony”

Spoonie Guest Artist: Alexandra Baker (@yourachingart_m.e)
Hi Spoonies,
For a long time, I’ve been noticing that there are many outlets for writers with chronic illness but comparatively few for artists with chronic illness. I decided to create these “Spoonie Guest Artist” posts, featuring some of the super-talented visual and multimedia artists I’ve met since I started blogging. I found Alexandra on Instagram (she’s @yourachingart_m.e). I immediately started following her because her work is creative, relatable, funny, lovely, and comforting. She’s also an excellent writer; I admit I teared up reading parts of this. Check out her story and artwork. Continue reading “Spoonie Guest Artist: Alexandra Baker (@yourachingart_m.e)”

Merry Catmas
Hello Spoonies,
Well, it’s time for the holiday posts again. A while back I did Santa With Brain Fog, last December I did Festivus: A Holiday for Spoonies, and last February I did Lyme Sexy Tyme: Valentine’s Day Special.
And now we must celebrate the little-known festival of Catmas. Fine, it is little-known because I made it up (it was originally a greeting card to a fellow Cat Lady). Still, I think it should be an official holiday. Ask your cat if he/she agrees. Continue reading “Merry Catmas”
