I've lived with Chronic Migraine and Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) since 2014. I’ve also had to manage Anxiety for many years.
I was a Primary School Teacher, Early Years Specialist and Mentor before I became disabled and mostly bed-bound from cruel and constant pain.
I share my experiences and provide tools and strategies to help Mums manage their live with invisible illnesses.

As part of this year’s Carers Rights Day on the 24th November I have taken over my wife’s blog and am going to provide an exclusive look at life as an unpaid carer, When Laura became chronically ill in 2014, and it eventually dawned on me that my role as Husband, Father, best friend and confidante would now be expanded to that of prime and unpaid Carer, life would become a little more complicated.
Carers Rights Day is a day for making Carers aware of their rights, where they can get help and support, as well as raising awareness of the impact caring has. The theme for Carers Rights Day 2020 is 'Know Your Rights'. Here I interviewed Lesley. who cares for her husband, about the stress she experiences as a Carer to raise awareness about Carers mental health.
For IIH Awareness Month, Amy has written this amazing guest blog about her experience as a 24 year old, newly single mum of a one year baby boy, recently diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension or IIH after suffering from crippling hypertension headache. She’s written an open letter to IIH about her lonely challenge of living with this rare brain condition.
I asked 6 amazing mums from the IIH UK Facebook support group, about their secrets as a mum with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension or IIH, to help other mums in a similar position. We’ve done this in the hope that we can fundraise for IIH UK during IIH Awareness Month by sharing how IIH affects us as and our children to raise awareness of this rare brain disease.
MS Awareness Week 2020 UK began on Monday 20th April and is a chance to raise awareness of Multiple Sclerosis so I’m sharing information about what MS is, the symptoms and how it affects those living with this invisible chronic condition. Everyone affected by this neurological condition will experience it differently and will have varying degrees of symptoms so the MS Society wants to raise awareness of life with MS. They want to show how someone may be feeling on the inside, when from the outside they ‘don’t look ill’. raising awareness of the hidden side of this invisible illness, by asking people to share their stories of living with MS.
