For life's little ups and downs.

A rather quirky, funny and sometimes daunting look in to the life of someone who has a lot of health problems but does their best to keep positive. Punctuated by guinea pigs, anime, superheroes, transforming robots and cross stitching.

I started this blog to tell my story, about who I am and what I do. On top of the health problems and raising awareness for those, I also use my blog as a way to help promote other causes, particularly ones which affect the most vulnerable. I live with a number of different and complex health problems but I refuse to let anything get me down. I know how it feels to be discriminated against or thrown aside. This is me. This is my life. I live it and do what I want with it. Nature sets the limitations. We set the boundaries.

About Me:

A blog about life. I live with Type 1 Brittle Asthma, Bi-Polar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as well as Various Allergies, Neutropenia, Crohns Disease (my IBS was rediagnosed as Crohns), Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis, PCOS and Osteoporosis and Heredetary Spastic Paraplegia. I have recently also been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea (which makes me stop breathing in my sleep) I live with these conditions, but I refuse to let them keep me down and out. I still try and make the most of my days despite being so poorly and having to rely on my wheelchair, nebulisers, nearly 50 pills a day and 2l/min of oxygen and CPAP.

I'll flap my broken wings and erase it all someday... You'll see.

My Random Little Rants...

I notice these days that I tend to have some little, and often rather funny rants, on my blog, twitter, facebook, even with people face to face. They're never anything sinister mind you, just me vocalising what I think about X, Y and Z and maybe, if you were to look hard enough you may see one of those fabled kernels of wisdom about life, the universe and pretty much anything. I mean, I do blog about pretty much everything don't I? From a catalog of what my ex boyfriend did to me, to what treatments I have undergone or am going to be having for my various conditions.

Over all it has been, and I hope it remains to be, a lot of fun and sometimes theraputic to write my thoughts and what ever has been bothering me.

Yesterday it had been a case of my chest acting its usual unfriendly self and trying to socialise Kadaj. I have had him for a while now and he still doesn't like humans to hold or stroke him, screeching or even trying to bite. And then the fun of him getting loose and having to chase this fast and aggressive creature down. I guess its a mark of the cruelty he has experienced in life. Gaara is a bit calmer now and just likes to make as much noise as he possibly can! It is really cute, but not at 5 in the morning when you just want to get some sleep, and let your body not kick five ways from Sunday.

I did have a lovely visit in the form of Tom, Joey and Dave and of course Oliver. It really did make me feel a lot brighter and I enjoy these visits, but it is fair to say that we are all happy with our situation, 4 adults and one lovely child, all happily getting along and acting as a family unit. I have never been so blessed than I am right this moment, yes there are problems and I have really been not myself today, but you know what, I wouldn't trade anything at all with my life right now.

Today my asthma has been at its worst and I have struggled pretty much with everything and been feeling bad about it as I was planning to go out this evening. But I am accepting that these things happen and not taking it as a reflection on myself, but more the fact that I came down with a bug and it did whatever these things tend to do. Maybe tomorrow will hold something better. One could hope.

Loves
