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.

This March, I am joining in again with the monthly writing prompts Link-up from Sheryl at A Chronic Voice. I chose to use these prompts to tell you about breaking my nose. I recognised nearly all of the broken nose signs so I went to A&E. My experiences with the doctor there and the ENT doctor I saw 5 days later have made me think and compare how I was treated.
Do you feel like there’s something wrong with you? Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. In fact, millions of people struggle with these conditions on a daily basis. It’s important to understand what mental health problems look like so you can recognise them when they occur.
Sadly, the message that the guidelines for assessing chronic pain in the UK should meet the unique needs of the individual is eclipsed by potential consequences of misinterpreted guidelines. It’s likely that this will become a blanket policy for all with chronic pain in the UK. This makes it highly likely that underlying conditions will be missed and pain relief will be withdrawn or not approved for those in desperate need. The guidelines are not mandatory but the chronic pain treatment UK could leave many with little or no quality of life.
