Talking about chronic illness can be hard, especially when you are trying to explain to others how you feel. Here are some resources that I have referred people to, to try to help them understand my issues without expending lots of my precious energy. I can't use up all my spoons at once! Here are some creative ways I can help start conversation about invisible diseases and to help others understand without exhausting myself. If you have an idea, please contact me and let me know!

I love my mighty well mask and med planner! The mask is the best one I've owned. It comes in many different sizes so it truly fits my face. I feel secure and protected while wearing it. It is incredibly easy to wash and never smells bad. The mighty med planner has space for all my meds and can be customized to fit YOUR individual needs. I have lots of meds and standard med planners do not work but the Mighty Well medicine planner is what I have been looking for in terms of best practice to manage my daily medications.

Kate Farms 1.0 Standard Formula is a sole source nutrition formula that is fully plant based. I can't eat solid food for the most part due to obstructions. I have a stricture at the top of my jejunum/bottom of my duodenum. I have a lot of issues with malnutrition and Kate Farms has helped keep me off of TPN and gain some weight which is amazing. I highly recommend it for anyone who struggles with nutrition intake and inability to gain weight.
