Hi, I’m Carolyn and My Chronic Library is a personal blog detailing my life and learnings of living with MS, my experience undergoing and recovering from an experimental bone marrow transplant (HSCT), my opinions and recommendations for navigating healthcare in the U.S., and all things reading and books.
I endeavor to provide lessons for the chronically ill and impossibly curious. I’m navigating disability in an ableist world and trying to make an impact by helping others through education and advocacy.
I’m a voracious reader, avid traveler, and singer of show tunes. Four years in means there’s a lot of content here. If you don’t fancy scrolling, ask me a question directly!
Read about my former self as well as my thoughts on releasing body shame and comparison in health.
