Nina Briscoe

Writer-Nurse-Chronic Illness Warrior

Hello! welcome to Living Successfully with Chronic Illness. My name is Nina Briscoe. I was a registered nurse for twenty years before becoming disabled by chronic illnesses. Even as a medical professional, I struggled to get quality healthcare and manage all the challenges it caused in my life. After a stay in a nursing home, I made major changes in how I handle my care. Using methods I developed from my nursing skills, I went from bedridden to living independently once again. I often wondered how people without a medical background managed the complexities of chronic illness and the healthcare system, and that inspired me to write this newsletter. I am also seeking publication for the book I wrote to help others live their best quality lives with chronic illness, both medically and personally.
