Okay so it’s been way too long since I logged in here!! I’m not active anymore but promised I’d give updates but life has been so crazy I just haven’t in waay too long. Probably the most positive update I could give though!

So when I last posted, I had not long gotten in a relationship. Next month we’ll have been together for a year! And in that year my life has totally changed. Biggest thing being in June last year I was admitted to hospital and taught to walk again. Many of you know I’ve got multiple (11 diagnoses right now) chronic illnesses, and I’d been a wheelchair or crutches user for six years. Well, now I’m crutch free! I’m doing up to 10k+ steps a day and really living life. They took me off morphine in hospital, then at home under the guidance of my GP I’ve been coming off Tramadol so I’m now opiate free. At the moment I’m coming off a different medication I’ve been on since I got ill age ten - so literally half my entire life. This one is rough as you can imagine, but I’ve seen so many benefits not being on the other meds! Yes I still have symptoms, but I feel like I’m in control of my body the majority of the time, and not the other way around.

I’m still on antidepressants but my mental health has been a lot better (except during withdrawal for this medication which makes you cry for no reason 🙄) and I’ve never been happier. Matt is the reason I managed to do any of this and honestly we’re more in love now a year on than ever. Without him, I wouldn’t have even tried to come off crutches, or come off medication. I couldn’t see a future where my illnesses didn’t dominate my life. But not only did I see it with him.. I am doing it! Things are very serious between us, we live apart still but he stays over at least twice a week and living together eventually is on the cards.

I included a cute little pic of us two on our Valentine’s weekend trip last week. Also, I’ve lost a fair bit of weight since becoming active again. Matt and I have been slowly doing all the things we’d wanted to do before but couldn’t… Swimming, climbing Glastonbury Tor, ice skating, the list goes on. So unsurprisingly I’ve lost weight and I’m feeling pretty good about myself, even though there’s more to go.

I really hope you lovelies are all okay, I’m so sorry I haven’t been on here. I want to check in more frequently with you all. I think my blog running days are over, but this was such a huge part of my life that I’m going to continue keeping it up and posting on here regularly. You helped me through tough times - this time last year I was on crutches, weighed more, barely left the house. Now I’m in the second year of my degree, volunteering twice a week and doing all the other aforementioned activities.. So if you’re in a bad place right now, just know it can get better! I’ve never been so happy.

Please, if you want to keep in touch more regularly, just ask and I’ll happily give my personal Facebook or WhatsApp or something. Big love to you all!

Hello! Yes I am alive! AS most of you know, I don’t really come on here much anymore, but I like to pop in and give an update and contact details etc because I miss you all lots.

I’m actually doing really well! I’m coming to the end of my first year of my degree and getting very good scores. Really enjoying it. I’m volnteering twice a week… and the best part is I now have a boyfriend. He’s amazing and very understanding illnesses wise, and things are getting serious pretty quickly. We went on our first date about a month ago but been together since the middle of March. So I’ve been super busy for once! Going and doing stuff with Matt, volunteering, seeing friends etc.. before I was lucky if I managed to go out twice a week. Now it’s rare if I get two days ina row at home. My health is still crappy but I’m living through it!

Also been off my anti depressants for over a month and doing well so yay for that. Very positive update actually! Haven’t been this happy in a long long time. I miss you guys but I’m enjoying living in the real world. If any of you would like to keep in contact more regularly, please message me!!

I have Whatsapp, and I’d be happy to give my personal Facebook out to you loveliess so just ask. I’d love to still keep in touch with you all.

I’m also admin on several FB groups if you’d like to join:

I’m Head of Ravenclaw house on a Harry Potter group, Mischief Managed.

I’m also co founder of a support group for Fibromyalgia and other chronic illnesses here.

Love you all and hope you’re doing okay! xoxo
