""My life cannot be lived spontaneously or with abandon, but it is still expansive, joyful, and full of possibility.""
""Living with a chronic health condition meant this wasn't my reality. Quite suddenly, I noticed my psoriasis...beginning to react to the sun.""
""By the time I landed back in England, I had developed erythrodermic psoriasis, a rare and severe form of the condition that can be triggered by extreme heat.""
Chloe Laws, editor of Condé Nast Traveller UK, shares her experiences living with chronic illnesses, psoriasis and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Diagnosed at 18 and 30 respectively, she faces daily challenges, particularly while traveling. Changes in climate and long flights can exacerbate her conditions, leading to fatigue or hospitalization. Despite these struggles, she recalls a memorable trip to New Zealand, where her psoriasis flared due to sun exposure, ultimately resulting in a severe form of the condition. Acceptance and management are key to her journey.
