My Journey... every step of the way.: In a Nice Bubble...

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.

In a Nice Bubble...

Its been nearly a year since that first time that I went to Blackpool for the first time since childhood and I saw Jace for the very first time. We'd been talking online and on the phone for a while and I.think I knew from those first few messages that this was going to be something magical and one of the best things to ever happen to me. It seems both weird and wonderful to think that I could be so happy. 
Becky and Jace both see me for who I am, sometimes its like we don't always realise what makes me so different but its liberating. Like I can live my life without being tied down with barriers and make my way around anything that tries to hold me back. Love is supposed to make you feel free and like no matter what or who tries to stand in your way, that nothing will succeed in bringing you down. 
Nothing or no one can take this away from me. I have wonderful friends and a boyfriend I adore. I have a nice roof over my head and even if we don't live in affluence or with riches to spare, we do well because we have something that doesn't cost anything but it's worth more than all the gold or trinkets in the world. That thing is love and compassion, a family who chose each other. 
The only thing that kind of bugs me is that we aren't spending the day together but when one of you works its understandable and we see each other as often as possible. And when we are together its wonderful and we feel so happy together. I am kind of glad that Jace hasn't been unlucky enough to witness my asthma at its worst. Not that I worry about how he'd cope, afterall he's seen what attacks are like but its a whole new ballgame entirely when we have to get help. That happens on average once or twice a month right now.

Last night was one such occasion where we didn't realise that it was what it was until I was fighting hard against it. I think that I was retaining as a last resort to put it off. I'm exhausted today as expected but its not something that I can't deal with. If anything I can use the time to watch as much anime as I like. So for now, I'm going to chuck my feet up and get lost in some other worlds!

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.
