'A practical and accessible guide to chronic illness. Essential reading' - Dr Claire Ashley

The must-have guide for navigating daily life with a chronic illness. Learn how to feel more confident as you move through the world.

Living with a chronic illness can be exhausting. From making difficult decisions about how to manage your energy (or spoons) each day, to the isolation that comes from finding 'easy' tasks (such as taking a shower) nearly impossible, daily life can be tough. Many of us spoonies would like to manage life better, but don't have the energy - or experience - to know where to start. No-one is ever taught how to live with an illness, after all. Spoonie Jodie K Ranu gets it, and she's here to help.

The Spoonie Survival Guide is your one-stop resource with everything you need to help you achieve the best quality of life possible, whatever your energy levels. Organised into four clear sections - physical health, mental health, financial health and lifestyle - Jodie breaks down how each area of our life can change with chronic illness, and what we can do about it.

Drawing on over ten years of lived experience, Jodie provides practical advice on how to move forward despite things being different. She helps you with:

  • Pacing yourself throughout the day
  • Coping with medical gaslighting
  • Dealing with everyday living, such as cooking and running errands.

Written by a spoonie for spoonies, The Spoonie Survival Guide is your kind and reassuring toolkit for life.
