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!!
