CHRONICALLY FULLY SICK SCANDAL UPDATE: Chloe and Jo sleep nude in an oxygen tent which they believe gives them sexual powers! (Hey, that's only a half truth.)Hi, we're back after yet another """inadvertent hiatus""" (us being flare bears) but hey, thats what you get with such chronically fully sick hosts such as us!

BACK FROM HIATUS FOR OUR QUARTER CENTURY YO! Twenty five eps, can you even believe it? We bloody can't. Anyway in this ep, Jo and Chlo chat about: the PM's mysterious sudden interest in endometriosis, the Disability Royal Commission, Bridgerton and King George, and much more. Plus, Jo gets absolutely on one for a special mish-mashed remix of ~Historically Fully Sick v Quack Watch~ with a tale that will make you lose your bleatin' marbles.Finally, another super sexy poem by our poet lorikeet, Jamila Main.p.s. Jo's just moved house and so she sounds like she's underwater.

They haven't showered, they're scraping their way back from nervous breakdowns, and they're ready to talk about it! Sorry for the lapse in eps – these two hellbeast women love to give advice about how to look after yourself, but they also love to not follow any of it themselves! Very cute and cool and sexy. In episode 14, the gals touch on the real-life effects for spoonies that happened when opioid meds went prescription-only, the weird 'disabled villain' trope that Hollywood loves to lean on, and a brand new QUACK WATCH about bad Goop health ghost man that loves to blend celery and call it a cure for everything. And of course, new SPOONIE HOTLINE!! Get up in this gig.CONTENT WARNING - the beginning of episode touches on the effects that current news stories about sexual assault can have on your mental health.

Look, yes it's late but SOME OF US have raging painkiller addictions and full-time jobs alright? So i guess this episode is about some of the chicks' chronically ill and disabled icons and how sick people are represented in the media- this time they're yakking about a SICKENING TV show and a legendary singer and activist. Well, it's a start, because media representation.. that's a whole thing. Anyway, this episode is full of legends, including a new HISTORICALLY FULLY SICK, SPOONIE HOTLINE and the usual steaming hot nonsense. Here's a spoon.

Yeah look, this episode is... chaotic. Chloe and Joanna decided to record an episode about dating and sex and relationships when you have chronic illness, and not sure what happened, but it turned into... this.

Okay yeah look first things first, Chloe and Joanna are really sorry about how much they talk about wee in this episode. It's a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Anyway: the chix also discuss some good Chrissy/holiday gifts for spoonies, as well as how to get through the silliest of seasons when you feel like hot garbage! Plus, a triple threat ep that includes QUACK WATCH (*borat voice* wah wah wee wah), HISTORICALLY FULLY SICK, aaaaand SPOONIE HOTLINE!

EPISODE NINE BABY! Chlo and Joanna have been fatigued to all gaddamned heck lately, so they found a Netflix doco series about the clusterf*ck that is the wellness industry to binge and rant about - classic stuff. They also delve in the undeniably common link between wellness, conspiracy theories and Nazism (hi Pete), explain how the ‘spoon theory’ began, and also commemorate the wonderful late Stella Young. Chloe also found a tin foil hat book in her parents’ bookshelf about how to ‘cure’ arthritis or some nonsense, so of course she had to do QUACK WATCH and read out über-borked bits while Jo scream laughs. Also more SPOONIE HOTLINE, hell yeah! The chix actually got quite a bit done in this episode, considering how utterly rubbish they felt.

Phwoooooar, episode 8! Sorry it's a spot late, but the gals have got an absolute corker for you. Chloe and Jo welcome their second chronically fully sick guest, the wonderful and talented Nadine Chemali!! This ep delves into stuff like having kids when you're a spoonie, how much investigative surgeries suck a heap of shit, cultural differences that can exist in the world of pain and chronic illness, and how disgustingly rife the medical industry is with fatphobia (about which Nadine has an absolute CRACKER of a story). Also WOOOO MORE SPOONIE HOTLINE! thanks love you byeOUR LOVELY GUESTNadine Chemali is a writer, researcher and social worker. She is dedicated to creating and nurturing communities, facilitating discussions on identity, sexuality, displacement and representation, discourse she feels was missing from her own migrant upbringing in Australia. She has written for publications like SBS Voices, The Big Issue, The Guardian and has spoken at events like Melbourne Writers Festival, Brisbane Feminist Festival & most recently Queerstories.LINKSNew Voices on Food (which features Chlo's piece 'How becoming chronically ill made me fall in love with food'): https://somekindpress.com/products/new-voices-on-foodYou can find Nadine as on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Do it! Nadine is amazing! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode six, you sexy sick babes!! Chloe and Joanna delve into topics like buttchugging the sun (...sorry), how good pets and animals are at making us feel better when we're having a rubbish time with our bodies and brains, and how the opioid crisis has affected people who live with chronic illness and chronic pain. There's a new QUACK WATCH and a HISTORICALLY FULLY SICK about a spoonie and disability icon whose general badassery is truly stunning and life-giving. Also, Chloe is left speechless after Joanna tags her in a DISGUSTING photo mid-ep, which is excellent for the aural medium of podcasting. Y'know, just your standard CFS ep. You can follow us on Twitter and Instagram!~LINKS~Babs and simba

Episode 5! Chloe and Joanna have been flare bears together, but they still dragged themselves to a microphone to talk about the concept of reclaiming and/or taking control of pain after they watched a doco about the legendary chronically ill performance artist and BDSM legend Bob Flanagan. They also talk about their own ways of using pain to treat pain (with additional input from some angel sickies in the CFS group), Bill and Ted and the creepy new Netflix series Ratched, plus Jo does a burp that you can hear (a miracle it took until episode five for this to happen tbh) and there's talk about sleep farting. They also do another HISTORICALLY FULLY SICK segment about someone we all know of, but most of us have no idea was a sickie.

Yes! It's episode 4! Chloe and Joanna discuss how excellent it is that there's so many books about chronic illness coming out lately, do yet another QUACK WATCH about curing your fibromyalgia with the Bible (¯_(ツ)_/¯) and also delve into a new segment called HISTORICALLY FULLY SICK where they have a respectful chat about a nice lil' mummy called Ötzi. They've also made some realisations about baby names, and finally acknowledged they probably both need exorcisms.

Chloe and Joanna yak it out about the every spoonie's most hated phrase ('but you don't look sick!!'), imposter syndrome and choosing to identify as a disabled person, how unfeasibly hot Kylo Ren is, delve into yet another ~QUACK WATCH~ and they also try to become beauty influencers (lmaoooooo). They also welcome their first guest: the stunning and illuminating angel Daphne Camf, a Melbourne-based perfumer and musician (NO ZU and SaD), who speaks about her experiences with endometriosis, vulvodynia, IBS, PMDD, fecal microbial transplants and more. ~THE STUNNING DAPHNE CAMF~ Daphne Camf Perfume – https://www.facebook.com/daphnecamfperfume/NO ZU – https://nozu.bandcamp.com/SaD – https://sadsimonaanddaphne.bandcamp.com/album/saturn-rules-the-material-world ~OTHER LINKS~Disability-friendly beauty brand (that we forgot the name of because of fibro fog) Kohl Kreatives – https://www.kohlkreatives.com/ Chloe's story about Selma Blair, 'Seeing Selma Blair at the Vanity Fair Oscars party brought me to tears', SBS Voices, – https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/voices/health/article/2019/02/26/seeing-selma-blair-vanity-fair-oscars-party-brought-me-tears See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
