Goodness me, it has been a minute since I updated you all. The past month has been swallowed by the medical. About three weeks ago I had sepsis. It was all very dramatic and I’m still living with a lot of pain and other ramifications, but in all for something as serious as Sepsis, I’ve […]
MoreI think you’ll agree with me when I say 2020 has been a tough year. Not only on a collective level, but a personal level. We’re all living through these experiences, yet have different personal ramifications financially, personally and professionally. A hugely important support network for me during lockdown and subsequent months has been the […]
MoreI’m going to begin this post by saying how good I am feeling. My health is still rubbish, but in myself I am feeling so much happier. This, in part, is due to some hard work and medication, but also the unconditional support offered by many of you. Thank you. I have been in need […]

MoreA lot has happened over the last three months, some are very positive changes. Firstly, I want to say thanks so much everyone who signed, shared and retweeted the petition.

MoreGoodness me. 2018 has certainly been a challenge so far! I can’t believe its already February – and that I leave my teenage years behind and turn 20 tomorrow! So I had tonsillitis, which wasn’t fun. I had gastroenteritis and a really bad flare of my neurological bowel problems as well. Then, my tube broke […]
MoreHello! I’m back on here, finally! I have been having problems with my hands, which I’m not going to talk about because the last month has otherwise been lovely. The meds space me out, my hands are numb and sore – but that’s it. Meh. Moving on… At some point in 2018 my first poetry […]
