My Journey... every step of the way.: Merry Christmas!

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.

Merry Christmas!

A short post for today, but I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and successful new year to come. It's been a better year this year and I have really learned the value of my friends and by extension and definition, my wonderful family who have been there to support me and give me strength. You are all awesome and I hope to see more of you in the next 12 months.

I also want to give thanks to everyone who has helped me overcome and learn to live with my condition, you have all given me a light at the end of the tunnel when I really believed all hope was gone. As well as my band-mates, Ant, Rich and Twitch who have boosted my confidence and made me no longer afraid to come out of my own home for fear of anything.

I am thankful for Penny and Becky who have been there to support me and advise when I felt scared or alone.

And lastly, I am thankful to Cat, Stacey, Nathaniel and JP, who have always been there for me with a smile and just a general chat.

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.
