Gaming and Chronic Illness with ArchaeoPlays | Part 1 - Heather’s Story

In the first of this two-part special, we are joined by Heather Christie, aka @ArchaeoPlays - an archaeologist, content creator, and gamer.
Heather delves into the past on their Twitch and KZbin channels, where they unearth hidden connections between video games and the ancient world. But their real-life adventure is even more intriguing as they navigate the challenges of living with multiple chronic illnesses, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS, IBS, interstitial cystitis, and chronic pain.
In two episodes recorded in front of a live audience on the Chronic Pain Club Talk Show, Heather first shares with us their story of chronic illness before, in part two, we dive into why they play games like Minecraft to distract and cope with the realities of living with these, and how they put their unique twist on it by linking it to their love of history.
Check out this episode for our usual lived experience story, but come back for Part 2 ( • Gaming and Chronic Ill... ) to hear a novel and alternative way to manage your pain.
