Do you suffer from a chronic illness and like word play games?
Feeling a little foggy lately?
If so, this post is for you! Every week we’re going to play a fun word game. Each week’s game is all about words that describe different aspects of chronic illness.
Word play games provide a great distraction from pain. No, they won’t eliminate it, but I personally have found word games like Boggle, Words with Friends, Scrabble, and Word Searches to be great distractions.
Brain fog makes us forgetful. Word play games are great for exercising your brain.
So grab a pen and paper and get ready to play! Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something new about your condition.
Ready, set, go!
