Being strong by being positive
Childhood Asthma prevented me from being very active. Raised in an unhealthy environment stunted me mentally and physically. My mother often had to bundle me in a car when I was breathless wrapped in blankets and drive me out to the countryside for clean fresh air.
The teenage years were better until glandular fever took hold at age 15 for several months. Tiredness has followed me since then with recurring bouts of swollen glands.
ME was finally diagnosed when I was 38 then Coeliac Disease at 46.
I've learnt to go with the flow and listen to my body to be energy efficient. Rest when it's needed and enjoy the outdoors at every opportunity.
2019 worst year for health! Now diagnosed with ABPA and found to be extremely allergic to cats. I've had to re-home my 2 rescue cats had of 11 years. Heart broken.
