Spoonie Artist Guest Post: Bethany@lymelifecomics
I followed Bethany on Instagram because of her beautifully drawn, professional-looking comics that reminded me of my favorite graphic novels, only they were about Lyme disease! I love Bethany’s style, humor, and the painfully accurate way she reflects the patient experience. Continue reading “Spoonie Artist Guest Post: Bethany@lymelifecomics”

Spoonie Guest Artist:Yulia Greyman (@FunWithCFS on YouTube)
I first learned about Yulia through her hilarious ME advocacy videos on her channel, @FunWithCFS. Yulia was a Ph.D student when she got sick and she is one brilliant, multitalented spoonie! This is a tiny bit longer than my other guest posts, but every word is worth the time. Please read her painfully relatable, funny, beautifully written memoir excerpt and be sure to check out her videos in the middle of the post.

Spoonie Guest Artist: Jennifer Bialk Scott
I first found Jennifer because we were in the same Facebook group and she posted an incredible painting called “The Scream” (below). It really sums up the experience of being a Lyme patient. Here is her story and some of her amazing awareness art. Continue reading “Spoonie Guest Artist: Jennifer Bialk Scott”

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”
