I thought I would write this post just now as I am suffering right as I type from the worst steroid withdrawal I think I have ever had to deal with. (at least I am hoping it is steroid withdrawal and nothing else!!) Although my last dose change was 5 days ago where I dropped… Continue reading Steroid Withdrawal

Not always perfect.
In my last post I wrote about learning to be kind to yourself and achieving a balance between drive and recovery. Im not sure what I was expecting with this.

Learning to be kind to yourself.
Recently I have found it really tough trying to deal with everyday life and my asthma together.

Moving forward.
The last few posts I published were very much the same, talking about the same stuff going round in circles and not making much progress. I am moving forward though. I am on the count down to my next clinic appointment which is on Monday where hopefully there will be some positive news but if… Continue reading Moving forward.
Writing again
Below are some of the posts I wrote when I was having a wee break. For me writing is cathartic and I can make sense of my thoughts but at the time I did not want to share my thoughts. This weekend however I have had time to think. I am putting all my eggs… Continue reading Writing again
Pinning all my hopes on one appointment
Although not publishing posts just now 23rd May I need to still write to stop myself overthinking all my thoughts and beating myself over them. I go back to my previous consultant again at the beginning of June and with this I feel I am pinning all my hopes on her and on this appointment.… Continue reading Pinning all my hopes on one appointment
