Zebra Pig

Health EN ↓ 328 episodes

I'm a nerdy pig with EDS, which also makes me a zebra. I talk about my journey through chronic illness; sharing some of my personal struggles and victories as well as just the day to day grind. I discuss my philosophy regarding chronic illness management and coping. I'm a mother, a wife, a nurse, a patient, a creator and a writer. I wear a lot of hats. I have a long list of diagnoses, but that's kinda how the EDS thing works. I'm neurodivergent. Welcome to my ramblings.
