Mommy Rheum is a health publication for people living with autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions. It exists because much of today’s wellness content is created about chronic illness, not from within it. Here, health topics are explored through evidence-informed research, expert insight, and lived experience without oversimplification or one-size-fits-all advice. This space exists to offer clarity, credibility, and connection for those navigating real limitations, and to remind you that you’re not failing your body and you’re not alone. Living with chronic illness isn’t about fixing it; it’s about living better, staying engaged with life, and recognizing that progress can be small, uneven, and still meaningful when measured in effort.
Welcome
Tips & Resources for Living Better with Chronic Illness
Living with autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions often means sifting through health advice that doesn’t fully reflect real life. Symptoms fluctuate. Energy is limited. What works for one body may worsen another. Yet much of mainstream wellness content still promotes simplified solutions that overlook these realities.
Mommy Rheum was created to bridge that gap. This site explores health through the lens of chronic illness physiology—drawing on evidence-informed research, expert perspectives, and lived experience. Articles cover topics such as inflammation, hormones, nutrition, mental health, and daily coping strategies, with a focus on nuance rather than absolutes.
Many of the pieces featured here include contributions from healthcare professionals, researchers, and practitioners, alongside insight shaped by personal experience with autoimmune disease. The goal is not to offer quick fixes, but to provide thoughtful, realistic information that respects complexity.
Mommy Rheum exists to support that process with clarity, credibility, and compassion.
Research estimates that autoimmune diseases affect roughly 8 % of the U.S. population, span more than 100 distinct conditions, and are a significant chronic health burden worldwide.
