Positive post of the day 💞 

This little checklist is literally one of the things i try and remember each day. Although being strong is hard and difficult sometimes, it’s good to know People are there to listen and talk to you. Even if it’s just a quick message or something else, it’s good to talk and get help when you need it. Being strong is one of the things you mostly have to be when you have Cystic Fibrosis, but sometimes it’s so hard to be when you get poorly or something else! I am always here if anyone needs a chat or anything! Don’t suffer alone. L x

My Delta508 and Diabetes

Well with me it was a very funny one. I wasn’t diagnosed until i was one year old, and the diabetes didn’t come along until i was 11. Everyone was saying how there was no possible way i even had cystic fibrosis, most of the people who my mum took me to see said the same thing, it was just a virus. But on i started getting worse and worse and was getting very skinny. So skip a long story short, i was brought in to hospital after my 1st birthday and was diagnosed then, oh and also double pneumonia, yep. Double. I was in hospital for two weeks then it goes from there. My parents never even heard of Cystic Fibrosis before they found out, so it was obviously a pretty big shock. Years went by and i must say i did pretty well, until i turned around 13/14. I was such a moody teen that all i wanted to do was to hang with friends and miss taking pills and physio. Whilst most of my friends smoked, i would become very poorly and need IV treatment more often. At the age of 13 i was becoming very depressed with it all and stopped doing most things for my health. Which now in later life, me being 18 and engaged, i regret missing everything deeply. I honestly wish i could turn the clock round and do it all right. BUT HEY HO life goes on! I started taking insulin when i was 11, and i found that pretty hard as i was quite  underweight and didn’t have a lot of fat. The diabetes actually happened from taking steroids. Which apparently that happens quite often! So here i am at 18, taking how many pills a day, doing 25 minutes of exercise and physio also. I must admit it is quite hard and frustrating at times, but all i think of when i have negative thoughts about it is the future. I look to the future and think how i will be so thankful to myself that i did do my physio that day, or i took my nighttime pills even when i was shattered. I will be posting another post soon about mental health and where mine is at the moment! And also some tips on how to keep positive in the darkest of times. L x

Little things about me!

Well firstly, my favorite things to do are reading, walking with my dogs and watching anything to do with bobs burgers. I read pretty much anything and it really helps me relax after a rubbish day or in hospital! I also love anything and everything to do with Disney, its been one of my favorite things ever since i was young.It helped me get through so much when i was younger as i would need IV antibiotics and also other things at the hospital! It would cheer me up no end.  I have a lot of support from my family but also my fiance Jamie. He is such a kind hearted person, and he helps me through thick and thin. He even knows me that well that he even proposed in Disney World to me! It was such a special day, and also my Birthday! My cystic Fibrosis is very up and down, i have been admitted 5 times in 7 months. So its very hard getting it balanced especially with having diabetes making my sugars out of control. I am trying very hard at the moment to have at least 3/4 months out of hospital, so wish me luck! I also have a very big obsession with tea, any kind of tea i will love! I also love getting messages and emails from anyone who wants advice or tips on anything, or even just a chat! L x
