Disclaimer

I am not a doctor, a nurse or any other kind of medical personnel. I'm a patient. Don't take anything I say here as advice. Or, if you do, do it at your own risk.

Who, me?

I'm Nessie, a twenty-something who still seeks to maintain her love of style to express herself despite the challenges presented by psoriatic arthritis. I work as a journalist and love using a combination of words and photos to tell a story. Though sometimes it feels like my life has boiled down to being someone who has a chronic disease, I'm working on showing others — and sometimes myself — that I'm more than that. I am more than my disease.

Contact me

Drop me a line at NessiehasPSA [at] gmail [dot] com. I accept bribes in the form of cupcakes, cookies and gift certificates to Mod Cloth.
