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.

When we face challenges, such as chronic illness, our body and mind work together. Our mental health is often being put last, which makes it so easy to get stuck in a negative mindset. This can lead to stress, difficulty solving problems, unhealthy relationships and poor mental health. But this can change with these 10 inexpensive or free activities, which are crucial for your journey of growth and will boost self esteem.
Reflecting on my IIH or Intracranial Hypertension treatment, as it comes to an end, has been emotional. IIH is a rare and disabling brain disease and I’ve hoped for a life without constant pain Since 2014. My first procedure showed that I’d benefit from brain stent surgery, and I did. My ability to communicate which would have crushed my family if it hadn't improved and it did with each surgery. As I complete my treatment, the harsh facts are that I suffer daily but there are positives, mostly my ability to be a good mum and wife.
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.
