Life With Multiple Invisible Chronic Illnesses

This is going to be lengthy so grab a drink and prepare to read!

Since I was twelve my health started to nosedive, I was a healthy child growing up suffering only with coughs and colds as per the norm but came out the other side of puberty into teen and young adult hood a changed person entirely.

After battling swine flu and having the cervical cancer jabs the first year they were offered up, within two years I got diagnosed with;

Asthma

Heart Murmur

Reynauds now Secondary in its type

Crest Syndrome

Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease or simply UCTD

Fibromyalgia

Osteopeonia which worsened to Osteoporosis and I am now back to being free of both but still on long term medication to fight it happening again.

Not to mention the plethora of mental health issues which arose along the way too, depression, anxiety, anorexia which I am thankfully also years into recovery from now.

I still await other diagnoses from other issues which also overlap with the conditions I've spoken about having above.

If you too suffer or have suffered with any of the above I get the way you feel, find support groups in your area or online I love the groups I've found through Facebook and encourage you to find support too.

You're never alone,
Eve
