My Journey... every step of the way.: Today...

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.

Today...

Today has been an interesting sort of day, luckily its been very quiet. I like it when its quiet. It started, as most days do, with my medication alarm going off. I have this alarm set at 10 AM and 10PM and I use what ever medication I need. In the mornings, this is 150mg of Sertraline (an SSRI anti-depressant), 5mg of Prednisolone (commonly referred to as 'Pred', a steroid tablet) and my inhalers. Peak flow was off a little, but I wasn't that bad so I thought nothing of it.

And everything was fine, until about 2, I got a little wheezy and couldn't settle it again with inhalers, so I had no option but to visit with my old friend, Ned. Ned, it should be noted is the cute name we give to my Freedom Freeway nebuliser. After this I felt better, even more so when Steve's little brother, Luke came to visit with his sister, Catherine and friend, Brad, that was fun it really made the day brighter.

Now, its a case of 4 hourly's and watch out if things get worse.

Love ya muchly

Wendy

So, what is this blog?

This is a blog about my life and what I do. Sometimes its witty and others it can be quite serious, but I feel that sometimes the steps you take in life are the building blocks for the future. I try and at least keep a positive outlook on things because sometimes that can be enough to get you through. So, come and delve in to this crazy, spontaneous and sometimes scary world of mine.

Named as one of Healthline's best Asthma blogs of 2013, 2014, 2015 AND 2016.
