| Introduction | Despite my best efforts, I still spend about 1/3 of my time in hospital (not including outpatient appointments). I have a genetic disorder that affects my joints, my digestive system, my autonomic nervous system (control of blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and other 'automatic' functions) and hearing. I also have severe asthma. The combination of these things means that I'm almost always exhausted and in pain - this is how I live my life. There is no cure that will restore my quality of life to 'normal', so I have to find quality in what I have. I like things to be organised (makes life easier), love to be surrounded by beautiful things, enjoy knitting, reading and baking. As with all things, however, nothing is perfect, and we all make compromises as we try to make the best of what we have. |
