‘A practical and accessible guide to chronic illness. Essential reading’ – Dr Claire Ashley

Your one-stop resource for navigating the world with a chronic illness

Living with a chronic illness is exhausting. From deciding how to manage your limited energy to the isolation that comes from finding ‘easy’ tasks – such as running errands or taking a shower – nearly impossible, daily life can be challenging. Spoonie Jodie K Ranu gets it, and she’s here to help.

The Spoonie Survival Guide is packed with practical advice so you can achieve the best quality of life possible, no matter your energy levels. Jodie looks at how our lives change with chronic illness, and what we can do about it, including:

- Physical health: coping with symptoms, pain and fatigue
- Mental health: handling your wellbeing and medical gaslighting
- Finances: managing the hidden costs of being a spoonie
- Lifestyle: dealing with daily tasks and maintaining your social life.

Written by a spoonie for spoonies, this is your kind and reassuring guide to moving through your day with confidence – one spoon at a time.
