ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Carrie. I’m a Canadian living in Taiwan with Ankylosing Spondylitis, Fibromyalgia, and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (MECFS), among other health issues.

When I first started MSW in 2007, I wrote a lot about living abroad and my travels in Asia. This site has never veered from its main mission statement which is to travel and learn about Asia with me.

I’ve been writing about chronic illness since 2009. MSW provides information for other chronically ill patients, patient support, and I engage in patient advocacy across many platforms.

If you’ve found my site content helpful, please consider buying me a coffee through the link above. Your kind and generous donation is used towards site maintenance fees ($120/yr) and my medical bills which are over $1,200US a month.

My illnesses have shaped my worlds and have inspired me to support other patients. Please help me make a difference in the lives of other patients.
