2020 pewpewpew I’m so stinkingly ill, I’m trying to use writing this blog to exert some brain power and sit up for more than 25 mins, since the last few days I’ve had none and have been living horizontally.

CIDP: Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy For this post, I’m going to write about what it means to me. This is majority based on what I’ve been told as much of it happened when I was very young.

In my 27 years I've had 6 operations all under general anaesthetic. The first one I had when I was 2 and it was to get a nerve removed from my ankle so they could do some tests on it to try to find out what was wrong with me. Being 2 years old, I… Continue reading A – Anaesthetic

Just general ups and downs which are natural and normal for me, but they’ve been teamed up with a lot of chill time with Bertha! - my “kids” blanket… Continue reading Just did it.
Good evening, and thank you to you if you’re taking the time to read this. I’ve had a ‘no splint Sunday’ which means there’s a 99/100% chance I’ve not been outside, and probably the same chance I’ve stayed in my jammies all day too - cuff me! Going to try to focus my mind on… Continue reading Tunnel Vision Labels
I've been thinking for ages about what topics and events I want to write about and have started a few drafts here and there, but my head is like an absolute hurricane right now so going to try to spit out something here as a form of therapy almost.
