Welcome to my blog, I am Beverley and I am in my 40s, I live in Staffordshire England with my husband, my disabled mom and our Maltese puppy Twig. I love sharing my journey with Chronic Illnesses here on the blog, I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Myalgic encephalomyelitis, Long Covid, Chronic depression, and Generalised anxiety disorder.

If you enjoy my content you can follow me here, or over on KoFi or Patreon for just £2 a month! This would go towards keeping my blog and YouTube channel going.

I blog about my experiences and give tips and tricks to help and inspire other disabled people. I also hope to raise awareness and compassion from able-bodied people wanting to educate themselves.

I hope my posts and videos help you, but I am not a doctor and though I trained as a nurse I cannot give personalised help and advice. Please consult with a health professional before assuming what you have seen in my videos or read on my blog applies to you.

If you do make changes based on my posts or videos, that is done so at your own risk. I am not responsible for any negative outcomes. Please consult your medical team.
