The Cornerstone For Thoughts
This time four years ago I started my dream job in This time four years ago I started my dream job in the dream city. I’d been told working in London would be the epitome of post graduate life. People told me daily, I was bossing life. Six months later, I was diagnosed with MECFS and small fibre nerve damage. I was broken. I left the job, the city the dream. It was toxic. The people, the place and the job. I beat myself up for months not knowing if and when I’d make any form of recovery. Between 2018-2020 I was in remission. As I type, I’m in a relapse having been in this situation for six months. It doesn’t matter that my experience is now the past because I still beat myself up about the job, city and life I had. Our experiences shape us but it doesn’t mean they leave. It affects us giving us the reminder. Drops the mic. 🎤

Did you know 74% of people who suffer with a disab Did you know 74% of people who suffer with a disability do not use a cane, wheelchair or any other visible aid? On Sunday, I went for Sunday lunch for my Nannas birthday who is disabled following a hip replacement going ‘tits up’. Until, I was labelled disabled I never understood how poorly designed spaces are for any person with a disability. This also applies and extends to the Covid-19 practices, delivery drivers dumping my goods on the floor knowing I can’t bend down. The ‘can you help me? Is responded with a look of ‘why?’ Oh and the queuing is not ideal for someone like me who doesn’t always use walking aids. It’s sad, because of the Uk population, 19% are disabled and are not catered for causing exclusion and frustration. I use the disabled label which always gets bizarre looks - it shouldn’t. Identifying yourself as disabled is not something to be ashamed of nor is it something you should have to explain/justify to anyone personal or professionally. For those reading who feel like they need to discuss, I’m more than happy to discuss the topic and give you the awareness and understand to support your loved ones, friends, colleagues or employees. Let’s change the dialogue! #disability #smallfibreneuropathy #neuropathy #disabled #invisibleillness #mecfs #chronicfatigue #longcovid

I heard today, ‘if the test comes back normal, y I heard today, ‘if the test comes back normal, you can be calm’. The sad reality for living with neurological symptoms is that you want there to be something to show a neurologist your pain, discomfort. It almost acts as proof you’re not a mad person imagining the tingling. As I echoed to my parents this evening, I’m not a mad person. I have pins and needles all the time, worse in heat and warm temperatures, my balance is off and my leg is very numb. surely this isn’t made in my head? In the past I had, ‘it could be worse’. The classic line. If I had a pound for everytime I heard that, I’d be eating my weight in malteasers for the next 12 years
