An accessible, encouraging and inspirational self-help book that unites a broad selection of creative pursuits with the subject of living well with chronic illness. In 2018 the NHS said there were over 26 million people in the UK living with at least one long term condition. The British Pain Society claim that around 43% of the UK population live with chronic pain. This book offers ways to live an enjoyable, meaningful life despite chronic ill health and how the associated experiences and perspectives can have a valuable impact on creative output. Chronic illness is, by definition, ongoing. Patients need to find ways to be fulfilled and live well amidst their symptoms. Not only does this book offer ways to achieve that, but it also shows how living with the experiences and perspectives of ill health can have a valuable impact on creative output and the uses that can have within the wider community.
