Spoonie Stories

I want to make it clear that this isn't a story, but quotes that help me deal with my chronic illness. I have HMS, Hypermobility Syndrome. This causes chronic pain and luxations of my joints among other things. If you don't like it, don't read it. I'm not posting this for hateful comments.

Layla Brass was popular, very popular... Until she got ill. This is a fictional story. But ME/CFS are real conditions and Layla's symptoms are the only part of 'This Isn't Me' that are based on fact. There is also a recording of me reading each chapter of this book, I make the odd mistake but it's easy to understand and saves you from reading/looking at a bright screen. Sakara Dee (:

At the time that I wrote this poem I cared a lot about this poem, however I don't even really remember why I wrote this poem now. I guess that's the beauty of life, you grow out of some problems and heartache and grow into new one's -Jada King

When Sienna disappeared from Hunter's life junior year of high school, he never thought he would see her again. That was until she was standing in the front of his biology class. Yet things don't click back into place as easy as they once did. Sienna was shocked to see her first love at a college thousands of miles away from where she first met him. When she had fallen in love, everything was perfect. Until it wasn't. After the accident, she had to learn how to live with a spiral of chronic pain and fatigue. She thought she had come to terms with her new reality. But when confronted with a piece of her past, she realized she was still running.

Sometimes it feels like I'm black and white, and everyone else is in color. Other times it feels like I'm in color and everyone else is in black and white, and everyone is watching my every move, judging me, and trying to decide if I'm just asking for attention. The truth is, I would do just about anything that I could to get that attention to go away. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and being the only kid in my class with chronic pain is not easy. I have to fight to do everything that most people can do easily and no one realizes it. Instead, when I can't do something, people assume I'm exaggerating and I could do it if I just tried. So I want to share my story for anybody who is going through what I am.

The 5th book of poems that I've written The Blue Book and the poems that it contains were written between March 2018 and April 2019. Just freeform poems about life and my mental health.

What i feel everyday, at least once a day.

I have multiple, debilitating chronic illnesses that I want to raise awareness about and just talk about in general. I love writing so why not write about the most important thing in my life-my health. This story will follow my journey with my chronic illnesses, how I cope, how I was diagnosed, my daily schedule and what I do to pass the time, my medications, doctors appointments, and just regular teenager stuff! I'm not sure anyone will care about this but we'll see I guess!

This is my journey.

Why me? Why do I have to have Hyper-mobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Gastroparesis, Intestinal Dysmotility, Craniocervical Instability (CCI), Endometriosis, Tourette's (Tourette Syndrome), Autism, ADHD, Mental Illnesses, and an assortment of other challenging things. My story and how I'm overcoming obstacles.
