My name is Sarah, I’m 28 years old, and I’ve spent most of my life learning how to live in a body that doesn’t always play by the rules. I grew up with chronic migraines, only to later collect Long Covid, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, ME/CFS, Hashimoto’s, and a Primary Antibody Deficiency like unwanted souvenirs from a journey for which I never signed up. I’ve been dismissed, doubted, laughed off, and told “your labs are normal” more times than I can count — sometimes by the very people who were supposed to help me.
So I built this space for us. For the ones who keep showing up to appointments armed with symptoms, research, and hope, only to leave with nothing but gaslighting and another follow-up date. For those who are exhausted from fighting their body and the medical system at the same time. And for every healthy, able-bodied person who has never seen what chronic illness really looks like — the grief, the resilience, the strength, and the dark humor it sometimes takes to survive.
Here, we talk about the messy truth.
The pain that doesn’t go away.
The invisible battles.
The triumphs no one else sees.
And the strength it takes to keep going when the world thinks you’re fine.
My mission is simple: to make the chronically ill feel less alone — and to help the world finally understand us.
Welcome to the chronicles.
The unfiltered ones.
