Dear Diary

A quality life with joint pain. This is Creaky Me’s informal journey sharing how to live a quality life with joint pain. My joint pain is caused by osteoarthritis of the knees. Stiff, sore and achy joints are part of my everyday life. Self-management of my condition is a daily requirement. Join me – as I drink, laugh, read, travel and explore my new future way of being.

Dear Diary: Road Trip series shows how I went from not being able to drive to taking a 12+ hour road trip holiday alone the East Coast of Australia
It’s a Creaky Life – will contain short excerpts from my life living with chronic joint pain COMING SOON
Read this… looks at the books that I read (I am an ex Teacher-Librarian after all) COMING SOON
