Hi, I’m Carolyn and welcome to My Chronic Library.
I’m a literary enthusiast and voracious reader, certified yoga instructor, lover of all dogs, world traveler, and theatre major and actress turned communications professional. I am confrontational and loud when it comes to disability advocacy, access to healthcare, and standing up for oneself. I’m fiercely loyal and will gladly talk about navigating healthcare, my favorite travel destinations, and all my favorite books. I don’t know if I’m doing it right, but I’m trying and that’s all that matters.
Oh yeah, and I have MS. Which I like to think is the least interesting thing about me.
I’m thrilled you stopped by to learn about me and my trials, tribulations, and triumphs with chronic illness and disability.
I’ve tried to share the good, the bad, and the ugly as I underwent an experimental bone marrow transplant in 2022. I’m open to sharing what I experienced along the way to help those with chronic illness and their allies and caregivers.
Get in touch if you have questions about life with a disability, how to support a loved one or friend with a chronic illness, or need a good book recommendation. I look forward to you reading along.
Check out this post to learn more about me.

“Our doubts are traitors,
― William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure
and make us lose the good we oft might win,
by fearing to attempt.”
