TV Show / Movie That Best Describes Your Chronic Illness Life?

I’m going with Steel Magnolias—not because I have Type I Diabetes, but because of the journey it depicts. Cutting my hair short due to chronic illness ✔️ making hard choices because of chronic illness ✔️ going to hospital because of my chronic illness ✔️ having to consider that I might die young(ish) from my chronic illness ✔️

And there’s that scene where Sally Field rages and howls at the injustice of her daughter being taken away from her because of chronic illness which speaks for itself. I also find some hope in the sense of community that Shelby has around her. I certainly don’t have anything as great as that in my everyday life, but I have a supportive husband and have a Mighty community in you all ❤️

What’s your Chronic Illness Life TV show or movie choice? 🎥

Regardless of the reason, it reached the #1 show [...]

A Plea to Make Room for Chronic Illness Stories in Popular Culture

“In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” — Maya Angelou I never saw myself reflected on TV or in books. A chubby small-town girl who liked to read and write didn’t really get much airtime on TV. Still doesn’t. Not to mention if that girl develops a chronic illness. And then another. And [...]

What 'Virgin River' Got Right About Huntington's Disease

“Do you feel the representation of Huntington’s disease (HD) is accurate on ‘Virgin River’?” a close friend asked me today. As I sat in my living room, drinking my morning coffee and scrolling through Instagram, I thought about her question.
