30 Day Chronic Illness Challenge 6/6


Day 26
What impact has this had on your friends, family, partner parents etc?
It's just as hard for me as it is for them. They see me at my worst. It can be rather frightening to think about how unpredictable my future is and if I'll still be there to enjoy their milestones. It's hard for everyone I have the disease but they have me there for we come as a package deal buy me get NMO free. 


Day 27
What's the most helpful advice you have had? 
You can do anything you just have to do it differently  - my VI support 1-2-1
Listen to your body- my VI 1-2-1


Day 28 
Name 5 things you have achieved despite your illness. 
Looking like a normal, happy, healthy person 
Getting good grades at school 
Making friends
STRENGTH
BRAVERY 


DAY 29
What has helped you cope with the stress of this life?
Knowing I am not alone in this.  I've turned it into a rather positive experience by helping others  cope with similar issues. 


Day 30
And finally... starting at your toes and working up to your head, name each part of your body and how your illness has affected it, followed by something you like about that part of your body?
Toes-  they don't help me balance at all BUT they do wriggle really weirdly and I like it. 
Knees- they're uncontrollable from loosing so much strength. I like that they aren't ever cut because I'm always in my chair Ahhaha
Hips- they constantly hurt and click but I like how they give me a nice figure. 
Bladder- I don't know I need to wee until I feel pain because the nerves are damaged but I'm glad it still some what works
Stomach- it burns like hell because of all my medication but it likes food so I like it. 
Back- let's just say OUCH. I like that it keeps my body in the right position. 
Shoulders- OUCH but I like that they still work
Hands- they're really weak so I drop things constantly. R.i.P old phone! I can read Braille with them
Face- ew. 
Brain- it's really foggy from how much nausea, pain, fatigue and medication  I deal with. I love how my brain keeps me entertained. 
Eyes- one is totally blind the other has hardly no vision. I love the colour.

30 Day Chronic Illness Challenge 2/6

30 Day Chronic Illness Challenge Made By CFS_Zombie Day 6  If you could have told yourself something when you first remember these symptoms arising, what would you have said?  This is going to be the hardest thing you will ever go through - but each battle is going to make you 10 times stronger! You'll  be okay.  Day 7 What was the biggest realisation you have had  ? When I was little and me and my friends would play a came called MASH where you have names, cars, houses and stuff on paper and do a random future prediction and I would say I wanted to be a nurse and have a limo. Then a friend once said "but you can't see you can't drive". I also realised then that I can't be a nurse because of how weak my immune system is.  Day 8 Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I see myself with a YouTube account raising awareness of what it's like to live with a chronic illness. I also see myself regaining the independence I've lost

Advice on dealing with a chronic illness and education.

Laying around in bed and waiting for doctors appointments gives you a lot of time. For many young people with chronic illnesses this time is spent wondering about their future and trying to plan life around their health. People take being educated for granted but like a lot of other things once you loose that ability you realise how much you really wish you could do it. Finding ways to make it work while balancing all of your other priorities is a really daunting  thought for the person, staff and family.   I have asked my followers on Instagram @youngpeople_chronicillnesses for their advice on how to cope with education and health to enjoy a better quality of life.  @Niamh.S.Wedlake People are going to ask questions and you will be misunderstood, be open and honest about your health. Provide people with helpful links, booklets and your own knowledge. If you use any helping aids and people look at you weirdly just smile, it's curiosity.  Don't be afraid to ask for help f

30 Day Chronic Illness Challenge 4/6

30 Day Chronic Illness Challenge 4/6 Day 16 What's your favorite inspirational quote ? You are tougher  than life is! Be a voice not an echo. Day 17 How would things be different if you weren't ill? I can't even imagine that. I would not be who I am today nowhere near. Which is quite weird to be honest. I love who I'm becoming. Forever changing.  Day 18 Do you think you have become a better person through being ill? Explain. I really do I believe that this illness has  shaped who I am. I would not have empathy or any understanding of chronic illness without this. I've learnt to make sure people don't feel alone in their fight which I couldn't do without going through this. This is me and this is my life I wouldn't change anything.  Day 19 How do you feel about the future? Uneasy. I tend to take each hour as it comes.  I do try to plan things because I know there's a way to do everything you just have to do t
