Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to That’s So Chronic! Today’s episode is with Rosie Roulette, and we are chatting about hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome (hEDS), fibromyalgia, suspected postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a little bit of endometriosis, and the moment when Rosie discovered they had a rare form of brain tumor (colloid cyst).

In this episode Rosie talks about how these diagnoses can to be, as well as how they have shaped their creative practice, what inspires them to be so open about chronic illness and disability, and whether that surgeon was right… Would Rosie ever be a dancer again?

 

You can find Rosie on instagram and facebook: @rosieroulette 

As well as their chronic illness cabaret: @chroniccabaret

And of course, you can find me on instagram and tiktok: @thatssochronic 

 

Rosie was the year above me at drama school and being able to chat to them now about their journey was a great check in for me to remember that we really have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes for people, even people that we might see every single day. 

 

PS there are some weird tech issues throughout this episode, so it’s not your headphones breaking! Sorry! Xoxo
