Last year (Easter/Ramadan) Iman (@alilbitoffaith) and I had mad chats around advocacy, the importance of representation, the job of being chronically ill, the exhaustion of microaggressions and a whole bunch if things that aren't often talked about.

Michelle (@mybodyliberation on instagram) and I chat about the diagnosis experience, namely trying to get one. Michelle lives with endometriosis which statistically takes 6-10 years to diagnose! For a lot of us this time is stressful, confusing, invalidating and isolating so let's talk about it!

Myths, misconceptions and microaggressions. What are they and what's wrong with them? Join myself and @CasualAbleism (in Instagram) to find out!

Which is why Ive enlisted the help so some friends to share their experiences with CFS/ME. All answering the same questions Iman, Anna and Paola detail the impact CFS/ME has on them. (Pssst!
