Blog postWorking with a chronic illness is difficult to say the least. Even though we are in pain, feel fatigued, juggling doctor appointments, etc. we still may have to work. We still have bills to pay and most likely have a pile of medical bills we have to pay. We want to work. We don't want handouts. Life doesn't stop when someone has a chronic illness. We may have to put our dreams and careers on hold because of our chronic illness. If this is you, know that you are more than your illness.1 year ago Read more

Blog postIt can be difficult to manage our day with chronic illness. It's important that we find ways that work for us that allow us to function as best as we can while managing our symptoms and resting when we need to.

Blog postResearching is extremely important when you have a chronic illness. Unfortunately, we can't only rely on what our doctors tell us about our illness, prescriptions we should take, treatment options we should try, etc.

Blog postConfidence is believing in yourself whether it's your health, your job/career, your ability to provide for yourself and your family.
