I Once Put As My Facebook Status

“People without chronic pain illness cannot understand that a lessening of pain is as good as no pain at all.” That holds true every day of my life. I am in pain of some sort 24/7/365.  Whether my left hand aches from arthritis or my left leg hurts from ass to ankle with early degenerative [...]

Reflections on a Year

Well…over 13 months. Anyway, as Adam and I gear up for our next big adventure, him starting day nursery and me having free time away from him on a regular basis, I’ve started to reflect on the past year. As this year has gone by there have been some truly horrible moments.  Moments when I’ve [...]

Letter To My Son – Adam – 4 Months Old

Dear Adam Today you are 4 months old.  I was hoping to say that you managed to stay out of A&E for this entire month but, alas, it is not to be.  You were there just after your second set of jabs to have your lump investigated.  You can read the whole story of that [...]

Diabetes…Anxiety Disorder…Borderline Agoraphobia…And Now…

Some of you might remember that about 2 years ago now I started have trouble sleeping.  As in waking up for the day at 4am.  No matter what time I went to bed. After a few months of various sleeping pills didn’t work, I was sent to the rheumatoid clinic.  I was tested for every [...]
