My Journey... every step of the way.: It all started with a letter...

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.

It all started with a letter...

I think further proof of my beliefs when it comes to the workings of fate. I had been thinking recently about my old Pen Pal, Jasper. I met Jasper many years ago when I used to go on the internet at Rising Brook High School, way back when I was in Year 10. So we're talking nearly 10 years ago now and as luck would have it, I received a letter from her. I was so happy and couldn't wait to scribble down a reply so after feeding Alphonse, who seems a little better today, I got to work.

So today has been in a word MANIC and it hasn't finished yet! I have to get Fonzie to the vet again for a follow up and a check over, I have made several phone calls today that have all turned up fruitful and found a new forum thanks to Wanda at AUK (www.theguineapigforum.co.uk) and found some time inbetween to have some lemon tea and a pot noodle...

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.
