Thank You for a year of support!

When I set up my Facebook page for my Blog a year ago, I honestly thought only a few of my friends would read it, but decided too give it a go incase people in the same position as me would enjoy my random out pouring's.

Never in a million years did I think i'd sit here today after receiving such wonderful support from everyone. I feel so overwhelmed to have heard from so many of you and to have such a lovely positive response- it's done a girl thats struggled with confidence since her diagnosis a world of good and I can't thank you enough from taking the time to not only read what I have to say but also comment and reply, you are all amazing.

For me this year I've overcome so much and managed to pass my first year of uni and my driving test, things that I worried would never be easy for me (they weren't but I got there) and the stories i've read of others situations have warmed my heart and proved nothing can stop us.

With only 2 relapses this year, heres to hoping 2017 is as successful, and that'll i'll find some stories to keep you all entertained!

Wishing you all a yellow year- big thank you's to you all

Festive Fun

So its December!! Just thought i'd write a little blog in the lead up to christmas, I may be 20 but it's still my favourite time of year I'm a sucker for bit of christmas cheer, just ask my house mates I may as well be a little christmas elf!! despite christmas just being just around the corner and only have a couple of days left at uni, the stress of deadlines and fear of a relapse is leaving me shattered.

I'm sure as soon as I get home i'll be full of joy but at the moment i'm so paranoid that as everyone has colds and god knows what else, so that fear of a relapse is just around the corner! I've been stable on 8mg of steroids for a month now and that is a stupidly exciting, but as soon as I realise anyone around me is ill I go into a panic about relapsing! I'm pretty sure this must be the case for a lot of us!

I'm sure it isn't just me either who puts  pressure on themselves to be well for christmas, besides it's meant to be a time of enjoyment the last thing I want is a relapse. I think my fear comes from 2 years ago when after a checkup I found out I was having one of the worst relapses i've had and I spent christmas on 50mg of steroids, don't get me wrong it was still a fab christmas but it just feels poop to put loved ones under all that pressure that this time of year!

I guess as much as Christmas is the best time of the year it also brings up a hell of a lot of anxiety to families like us!

Just wanted to finish on a positive note by saying Merry Christmas to all of you lovely people who take the time to read my waffle and thank you all for the support! Here's to a healthy and yellow 2017 for us all x
