My Chronic Creative Life started as an outlet for Author JJ Weatherill to vent over the fibromyalgia she was diagnosed with in 2022. It’s taken a bit to get off the ground because her fibro and other issues have been messing with her mental and physical health. There are no plans to stop completely. She is starting a blog to go along with the tik tok and fb reels content she hopes to make. As a writer it is much easier to write her words while resting her aching body, than it is to get up and about and film videos. 

One of the main features of the blog and content will be how she manages her career as a writer with the symptoms of fibromyalgia, especially fibro fog. She hopes to show grace and humor as she brings awareness to silent/chronic illnesses. She would love to not only see more funding for research, but to help change the way chronically ill/silently ill people are seen and treated. “You don’t look sick.” and “You don’t act like you’re in pain.” Are phrases she hopes to destroy. 

If you love humor, honesty, and raw emotions, this is the place to be. Whether you have a chronic illness, love somebody with a chronic illness, or are just interested and curious, this is the place to be.
