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.

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.
