A Very Brief History of My Slowly Deteriorating Body and Mind

I haven't always been chronically ill.

​

There was a brief period, in about 1988, when I was two, when there was absolutely nothing wrong with me. Then I met cats, and my immune system got confused, and it's all been downhill from there.

​

But basically, if you want the edited highlights of my adult years of chronic illness, it's this:

​

  • Aged 21: Endometriosis diagnosed

  • Aged 22: Generalised anxiety disorder diagnosed

  • Aged 24: Thyrotoxicosis diagnosed (Graves' disease)

  • Also aged 25: Thyroid eye disease diagnosed

  • Aged 26: Depression diagnosed

  • Aged 32: migraines diagnosed

  • Aged 33: Fibromyalgia diagnosed

  • Aged 34: ADHD diagnosed, also Diabetes type 2

  • Aged 35: Sleep apnoea syndrome diagnosed

​

That leaves out my childhood diagnoses of asthma and ezcema as well!!

When they announce robot bodies, I am first in line.
