I’M WRITING A BOOK!!

Hey everyone, I’m trying to get a book published for the Arthritis Foodie Community, but I need your help! Please pre-order a book, or a gift package, to raise funds and awareness for this idea by going to: https://publishizer.com/arthritis-foodie/.

Packages include: invites to the book launch, Arthritis Foodie notebooks and aprons, hamper of goodies and even a retreat!

‼️THE BOOK DOES NOT EXIST YET!! But if awareness and funds are raised, IT CAN HAPPEN (if I don’t get more than 50 book orders then I have to refund you all and it won’t happen…).

Why am I doing this?

6 years ago, in my final year of university, I was really poorly with no diagnoses of what it was until almost 2 years afterwards… SERONEGATIVE ARTHRITIS. Arthritis? Are you joking? I couldn’t believe it and I didn’t want to believe it either.

For years, I hid my condition, only telling close friends and family. I was embarrassed, angry and frustrated. I’ve been on countless medications. I inject myself 4 times a month, soon to be 6 times a month with two different medications. I’ve been fed up, low, and at times I have felt very alone. 

Then last year, I set up the Instagram account called Arthritis Foodie, as a diary of health with recipes and natural remedies to try to help my symptoms – and at the same time try to help others too. I met so many people my age and instantly felt less alone. Since then, Arthritis Foodie has become a community of almost 9,000 people. I kept my face hidden from the page until a few weeks ago (before then it was just photos and videos of my hands!) because, I realised, how can I change the stigmas attached to arthritis if I don’t be brave and put my face out there? And now, I’m making a bigger step and attempting to publish a book.

What will be in this book?

“Do you have arthritis? Are you looking for natural remedies to feel better alongside your medication (like me)? I began a natural remedy journey in August 2018 when after years of drugs, flare-ups and pain, I decided to look into holistic ways of healing, hoping to find young people like me eager to do the same. One year, and 8,500+ followers later, Arthritis Foodie has become a community of positivity and strength, offering advice, recipes, products, exercise and pain relief for people who have arthritis. The book will bring all of this together!”

How can you help?

If you know anyone with arthritis who might find comfort or help in what I am doing, please show them my page on Instagram: instagram.com/arthritisfoodie/.Facebook:

And, if you’re feeling kind, or would like this book to be on shelves for real, please pre-order a book and help me to raise awareness: https://publishizer.com/arthritis-foodie/

Thanks everyone!
