Sarah Lippett spent eleven years suffering with symptoms from an unknown condition, until she was diagnosed with the rare disease, Moyamoya, at the age of 17. In November 2019 she published her beautiful graphic memoir, A Puff of Smoke, which tells her story using the power of the sequential narrative. Here's a throwback to Lucy's interview with her ahead of the launch.
Once you've finished listening watch the follow up video 'Living With It' about what life is like after diagnosis. Sarah spoke to Lucy while shielding in her flat in Edinburgh during the first UK lockdown. She talks about the pandemic and her kidney disease relapse.
