Art provides multiple benefits to me in living with and through chronic illness. Painting helps me to get out my creativity and emotions, without using too much of my limited energy and focus that other means may require. While nothing makes the pain truly go away, it does help distract me from the  daily aches and pains that persist, even through flare-ups and extra hard days.
