Thanks to everyone’s support & generosity I’m booked in for surgery in just a few weeks! It’s scary and surreal but also exciting - I know I’m so lucky to have this opportunity for -hopefully- an improvement in my quality of life after 15+ years of a downhill struggle. We haven’t quite raised the full amount for surgery yet - and as my brother needs the surgery too - I appreciate everyone who continues to take the time to read, share and even donate - Link in bio. Thank you so much for all the support ❤️🤞🏻✨ (Featuring my pump up neck brace and Teddy’s side eye 👀)

Recently I was diagnosed with craniocervical instability (amongst other things) & told I need spinal fusion surgery. I’ve struggled against asking for help but I need to crowdfund for my surgery with a specialist neurosurgeon, which is not available in the U.K. for EDS patients. This is my best shot at being able to live more of a “normal” life again and to stop my condition deteriorating to a life threatening stage. (Please read my page - link in bio - for more details of diagnoses and surgery) The past 5 years I’ve spent mostly housebound, and largely bedbound. And had been ill to a lesser extent for a decade before that. Even though I might be able to see friends or family once or twice a month, my life in between consists of lying in a dark room, trying to recover and struggling to keep going. This surgery is my best chance at ending the constant struggle and hopefully living more again. Please share. Thank you so much 💙 #mecfs #spoonie #myalgice #cci #craniocervicalinstability #eds #ehlersdanlossyndrome #surgery #crowdfunding

“Dear daughter, how much I would have loved you.” 💔Today is #MEAwarenessDay . 200 #MillionsMissing protests took place around the world to represent the millions of people who have either died or are missing from their former lives because of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis; An illness that has literally shattered the past 10+ years of my life into painful pieces. This was a pair of shoes from one of today’s protests, laid out by an ME sufferer who would have been a Mother were it not for this illlness, a reality which would have been very possible if proper funding of biomedical research had started over 30 years ago when it was first proposed in Parliament. If you do one thing, please raise awareness and understanding of ME by watching and sharing @unrestfilm available on Netflix now 💙 #MyalgicE #pwme #spoonie #chronicillness #canyouseemenow

Yesterday was #MEawarenessDay, please mark it by watching @unrestfilm available on netflix! Well done to everyone who got involved with the #MillionsMissing protests which took place in 100 cities worldwide demanding more research funding and recognition of #MEcfs, which despite having one of the worst qualities of life of any chronic illness has less funding than male pattern baldness. Swipe right to see some tags and shoes which were at the London protest, each represents an #MEcfs sufferer who is missing from their life because of it. I pray for a day when no one will have to be told they have M.E., and there’s nothing we can do for you 💙💙

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄✨ Sending extra love to all my spoonie pals. I hope tomorrow is as kind as possible to you all❤️🎄❤️

Unrest, the Sundance Award-winning documentary about ME/CFS is showing at the @olympicstudios in Barnes, London this Sunday 22nd at 10.20am! Please ask anyone you know who lives near/ in south west London to come along & see this important documentary directed by the incredible @jen.brea Ticket link in my bio 💙 . #olympiccinemabarnes #timeforunrest #timeforunrestfilm #UnrestFilm #MECFS #myalgicencephalomyelitis #ChronicIllness #Spoonie

Grateful and encouraged by everyone who got involved, but a little heartbroken to see story after story of suffering and neglect. The #MillonsMissing movement is desperately needed, it's time to change the endings to these stories💙👊🏼💪🏼 P.S. we're being covered by Oxford Mail & BBC Oxford 🙈

#MillionsMissing (a global day of protest for M.E. patient rights) is only 2 weeks away! I'm organising the Oxford protest and we really need more patient shoes! These shoes will be displayed at the protest, along with your name, how long you've been sick, and what you are missing because of ME eg a family, a career, life in general. 💙 Link to #MillionsMissing in my bio.
