Hi Everyone – this week I thought we would have a bit of fun, so a few weeks ago I asked people on my social media to name a song or song title which reflected their life with chronic illness.

I had some great answers which I have shared below with some of my own. We have a combination of light-hearted picks alongside ones with more meaning. Some ballads, some upbeat and some a little of something in-between.

Remember some of the picks have been influenced by the title of the song, others the meaning behind the song itself.
