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.

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)” →

Cats in a Christmas tree for Catmas

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” →

Fifty Shades of Brain Fog, Part Two

Hello Spoonies!

Welcome to the eagerly awaited,  ah, completely unexpected sequel to Fifty Shades of Brain Fog, Part One. I hope you will check out Part One too!  (Don’t worry, this series does not go in any kind of real order, as I am way too foggy for that.) Since brain fog is the symptom that keeps on giving, there might be a part three and possibly also whatever number comes after three. Continue reading “Fifty Shades of Brain Fog, Part Two” →
