I’m Kate, a very chronically ill millennial living life to the fullest with 10+ illnesses. Make sure you’re following to see what I’ve found to make my life as good as possible.

#LTKselfcare

As it gets warmer, it’s important to stay hydrated! I need way more electrolytes than most people, and to help with that, I drink Cure. There are so many flavor varieties and they don’t taste like pure sodium. Whether you have POTS or are an athlete (or both), I strongly recommend Cure

This is the face of coronary artery disease⁣
⁣
Yup, I have heart disease. ⁣
⁣
I've mentioned this in bits and pieces over the last year, but in 2025, I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease.To be clear, I have basically the lowest amount of artery calcification possible to still have heart disease, but I still have it. ⁣
⁣
Coronary artery disease is a complication of rheumatoid arthritis, as cholesterol can be increased by inflammation. As I hung around the border of coronary artery disease, I got COVID. ⁣
⁣
COVID is also an inflammatory condition, which is why research shows that COVID can increase risk of heart disease. ⁣
⁣
We're keeping an eye on it now, and increasing my cholesterol medication has helped keep my cholesterol down. Which is good because I already eat a pretty heart-healthy diet and exercise is tricky for me. ⁣
⁣
If you have an inflammatory condition like RA or Crohn's, you should know that that inflammation can contribute towards cholesterol levels and therefore heart disease, especially if you've had COVID (and every time you get it increases your risks). ⁣

Yoga is the only form of exercise that I can do even on my bad days. I’m trying to reincorporate it to my daily life, even in small doses. It’s also proven to improve quality of life for both people with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Video: a sped up video of Kate doing yoga. There are a couple text boxes talking about how good yoga can be and how you can get some of my favorite supplies by looking below

The Internet is great for a lot of things, but one of them is the fact that when I wanted to try crafting again, I was able to find more accessible options. ⁣
⁣
Growing up and through college, I loved crafting. I was on crutches a lot in high school, and I would paint them. I tried all sorts of crafting, and I was able to do it a lot longer than I was playing instruments. But my RA - or rather my difficulty in properly pacing - caught up eventually, and when I had my physical breakdown and moved back to New England, I stopped. ⁣
⁣
I wanted to get back into crafting, and I've always wanted to do embroidery, so when the Internet introduced me to punch needling, I was sold. Honestly, my biggest motivator for not overdoing it on my new hobby is the fact that I enjoy it so much and I would be upset if I overdid it and had to stop. ⁣
⁣
It still hurts that playing instruments - any of the ones I played for years - hurts me. I'm determined that the only reason I will stop a hobby is if I get bored of it, and not that RA or any of my other illnesses gets in the way. ⁣

CHRONIC ILLNESS TO-DO LIST⁣⁣
⁣
Living with chronic illness is more than "just" the symptoms and the appointments. Here are the things I have to do to feel just sort of not awful: ⁣⁣⁣
▪ Drink 80-120 oz of water⁣⁣⁣
▪ Consume 5-8 grams of sodium (sadly not an exaggeration)⁣
⁣⁣▪ Take pills 4+ times a day⁣
⁣⁣▪ Take an inhaled medication 2x a day⁣⁣⁣
▪ Don't miss a dose or a day⁣⁣⁣
▪ Sleep 8-12 hours a night⁣
⁣⁣▪ Move a little bit each day⁣
⁣⁣▪ Eat healthy (without gluten, dairy, corn, soy, or egg)⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣▪ Keep an eye on my mental health (and manage it as possible)⁣⁣⁣
▪ Stay on top of my doctor's appointments ⁣
⁣▪ Work 30-36 hours a week to have health insurance⁣
⁣
It's no wonder I get overwhelmed sometimes! ⁣⁣What's on your chronic illness to-do list?⁣⁣⁣
