Some may have wondered, if at all, where I disappeared off to last year. And this post here is going to try and explain what made that the case. I’ve been debating for quite some time, what to divulge or whether, in fact, I really wanted to share this information with the world…because currently, I can count those people on my hands. It wasn’t something I initially thought I would share, I felt that those that really needed to know were filled in. And others because I thought they might murder me dead if they found out I didn’t tell them (yes, you know who you are lol). But after weeks of tossing this information around in my head, I decided that my blog was made for the purpose of not only sharing books but also sharing awareness for chronic illnesses. These new particular ones, I guess, held me back from sharing because there is still kind of a ‘we don’t talk about… ‘(anyone singing that a little? 😆) air around certain illnesses. But I think that’s where the sufferers of these conditions get a little lost. Because one, they feel they can’t really talk about it; or two, zero awareness is then spread about these illnesses. So because of that very reason, is why I decided that I would talk about it.

In The Life Of The Chronically Sick…
Hey Ramblers! It’s been a while since writing up a post like this. I’ve been a little absent of late. Health has been driving me barmies. But since I’m really trying to bring more awareness for those with chronic illnesses, I thought an update on health could be due.

Hey, my beautiful Ramblers! It’s been an age since I’ve made a post. Health and life has been a little bit rough of late.
In the world of my chronically sick life…this is what’s been cooked up or maybe cooking up lol:

Hey, my beautiful Rambles! It’s been an age since I’ve made a post, which I do apologise for but the COVID caught me about 6 weeks ago and it has been rough going, to say the least. I can’t believe I made it 2 years without catching it, to be honest…but it hit and stubbornly refused to let my body get off that easily. Even now I’m still showing symptoms of having it and the rest of my body just decided to go into hectic flare mode…so it has been an interesting time.

Hey my beautiful ramblers! Dude, I seriously hadn’t been expecting to do another of these posts this week. Especially not one the following day lol. But something came up, that I have thought long and hard about sharing because I know topics like this one, can be a whole can of worms scenario lol. But after thinking on it, I truly felt it could help you see a little more into those of us that are chronically sick…and that sometimes we can’t just do things because it is required…and sometimes, definitely, not without first checking in with our doctors. So I wanted to speak for a couple of people, who I know, that have had either comments or judgement made on them about vaccinations.

Hey my beautiful ramblers! I’m back with another in the life of post…this one isn’t going to be that long…but today has been an exhausting day. Have I done anything to tire myself? Nope, my body just does that all on its ownsome, for no reason. Between dizzy spells, pain on more higher level, fatigue thats mostly kept me in bed for the day and just generally feeling off. It has just truly left me spent, mentally and physically…I did have the fun time of getting jabbed three times, though, today. Once for my recurring blood test and twice for my monthly injection for my Spondyloarthritis treatment. Nobody loves a needle and especially not three in the span of 15 minutes lol. Okay, I admit, you do sorta get used to it to a point, but if I never saw a needle again I’d be totally fine by that.

Hey my beautiful ramblers! I’m back with another in the life of the chronically sick post again. Let me know in the comments if you like these sort of posts, and whether I should keep doing them. 🙂
I just wanted to pop on quickly, to share a little about what life can sometimes look like for us…and the randomness that can be thrown at us. Like take me right now for example…
I’m currently feeling super weird right now, like I’ve drugged myself, without actually taking anything. Gotto say that’s a lame super power lol. But man, my head is both light and heavy at the same time. Like my face wants to do it’s own version of a landslide, whilst another part of my head feels floaty like air is just swishing around in my head. I’m gonna take a wild stab and say it’s to do with exhaustion..please, don’t ever take showers for granted guys, they literally ruin me every time!…Ugh, regardless, I really don’t wanna feel drugged, I hate that feeling so much. It’s why I try to stay away from opioids, even if they can help with pain, my body just does not react well with them, at all…so it kinda defeats the purpose in the end. So like any sane woman I’m eating chocolate wishing away my problems. What are you currently doing wherever you are?
Seeya next time 😊💖

Hey my beautiful ramblers! I know I’ve been terrible of late and haven’t been around much, keeping things active. Life has been really stressful. Between family things and health, life has felt very up in the air and totally out of my control; Which my OCD ways are struggling with. We are also in our 8th week of lockdown, which is kinda what I wanted to talk about…coz it’s got me thinking, that maybe I can help shed a bit of light on the life of the chronically sick.

So you guys may have noticed that I’ve been MIA for a couple of weeks now. Or maybe you totally didn’t lol. Either way, I’m finally making my presence once again back on the social platforms, I bet you totally missed me, not 😂. Nothing exciting happened in my absence…instead, over the last few weeks I actually got quite sick and run down and I’m only just now starting to feel a bit more human again. Still mostly in bed due to extreme fatigue levels but I don’t feel half dead at least, so that’s a win right?

So I thought I might start writing some random posts about my life and share in the journey of my health. As a lot of you would know, I’ve had a lot of health issues over the time and more recently was diagnosed with Spondyloarthritis an autoimmune inflammatory disease. What can I say? I love to keep my mum on her toes…since I was a little kid I was the one who got the weird sicknesses, like say Scarlet Fever and Kawasaki disease along with Infantile Asthma and burst ear drums…now it seems my bodies goal is to collect as many chronic illnesses as it can lol. The list is ever growing 😅🤷🏻♀️

Many might not know but the 12th of May is awareness for Fibromyalgia. An invisible illness that not many can easily see directly. Which does make it hard for those suffering from the chronic illness. This illness is just one of the chronic illnesses that has definitely flipped my life around majorly. It causes severe fatigue and widespread pain. Among a lot of other symptoms that’d take me quite some time to explain. But basically it attacks every system in your body and there is no fix or cure for this. Doctors are only just now starting to even recognise this as an illness, which is a great start. But sometimes we just need the people around us to understand a little of what we go through each day. Here is a small glimpse in a life struggling with Fibromyalgia and other invisible illnesses I have.
