Recs if you like Poor Little Sick Girls...

Let’s say this is me collecting spoons, aka: a list of memoirs by fellow chronically ill spoonies. May the selection give you empathy or make you feel seen ❤️

Books about feminine power and rage. Inspiring, enraging, validating. Let us rise, my sisters.

These books try to get to the root of what pain is and where it comes from and how humans have tried to treat it. From chronic illness, disability to medication. Nonfiction regarding health, women's health, mental health, painkillers, opium, the body and autoimmune diseases. This list is NOT about finding healing (since that is a very individual journey) but how to be seen and understood and how to find the words to describe pain and sickness.
