IT'S OK TO NOT FEEL LIKE A WARRIOR ⁣⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ my collab with @thisthingtheycallrecovery⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ Before anyone starts getting angry in the comments, I'm going to preface this with my usual thing: this is just MY OPINION. If you get something out of being a warrior - that's great! I'm not belittling or undermining that. It just doesn't do anything for me. ⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ And why is that? Well, inherent in the warrior narrative is that my chronic illnesses are something that I can fight and then either win or lose against - but life's just a lot more nuanced than that.⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ Ultimately, and this is really at the heart of why it does nothing for me, existing in my body is not a choice.⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ Getting on with my life is just something I have to...do...whether I want to or not. I can see why the warrior narrative is compelling for people because the process of even getting through the day feels like such a challenge to overcome and something to be celebrated⁣. And it is! ⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ But to me that's not a *battle*. These are the cards I've been dealt and I just have to live my life. I don't find that inherently 'brave' or 'inspirational'. It just is what it is. It's my normal.⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ I find it exhausting to live my life as if it's a war. I spent so long fighting my body, trying to 'win' by getting better. To prove I was worthy to myself and others.⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ I didn't win. I mean, willpower is not a fair fight against A GENETIC CONDITION. I only ended up hurting myself. ⠀⁣⠀⠀ ⠀⁣⠀⠀ Now, I try to work WITH and ACCEPT my illnesses as PART of my life instead of fighting against them. ⁣⠀⠀ ⠀⁣⠀⠀ That doesn't mean that I've given up. Some days we have to try harder than others. Some days we literally can't try. And that's ok. ⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ I suppose moving away from the fight narrative played a role in helping me accept my reality instead of chasing after an unspecified future, and opened the door for me to safely and realistically find way more things in my life that this constant war I was fighting didn't allow space for. ⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ Ultimately, I'm not sharing to bash anyone or take something away that helps you. I'm just opening up that if you don't feel like you're a warrior, that’s ok too.

PAIN MANAGEMENT i’ve talked about it before & i’m talking about it again my doctor prescribed me an opioid pain medication only as needed for breakthrough pain the kind that puts you in tears & makes you unable to get out of bed i’ve had it for weeks & didn’t take it because i thought things like it’s “not bad enough,” i’m too young to need it, or the worst one... what if people judge me for taking it? so it sat there, untouched, while i suffered in silence today i finally gave in & took it i went from having tears in my eyes just from sitting up to being able to enjoy a meal with my family i learned such an important lesson... this medication was prescribed for that exact reason - to make my life more bearable & to allow me to participate in things i couldn’t otherwise so my point is: if you have these meds, that means you need them don’t make yourself suffer due to fear of judgment TAKE. YOUR. MEDS. you deserve to be able to live your life as best you can!♥️♥️

|#BlueSunday2019| • We went out yesterday and ate cake in a cafe. My cake was rainbow cake and I’ve never been more excited about cake and usually I’m only really a fan of chocolate fudge cake but I’ve never eaten rainbow cake before so it was an exciting time. • I’m using yesterday’s cake adventure as my contribution to #BlueSunday and will be donating the cost of cake and a coffee to @theslowlane_me’s fundraiser page. She’s also running a #BlueSundayGiveaway this year too which is fun! Anna created Blue Sunday (also known as #teapartyforME) as a spoonie friendly way of fundraising for #MEAwarenessDay. You can participate with a simple bun/slice of cake and a good old cuppa from the comfort of your own bed; just take a pic, share it and donate a couple of quid, and it’ll all help towards raising awareness and funding research for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, which is a b*tch of a condition that doesn’t get anywhere near enough attention from the medical community or scientists... So it’s our job to change that around. By eating cake! • I’m late in bringing this topic up, I should have given you fair warning to get your cakes at the ready but it doesn’t mean it’s too late to still take part! So get some treats and do your part in helping us out!! • I’ll leave Anna’s fundraising page link in my bio so you can head over and donate - if you feel like it. No pressure at all, we know money can be tight but if you’ve a couple £’s spare pocket money going and feel generous, it would be super mega greatly appreciated!! • Ok, with that all being said, I’m done. But the biggest of thank yous to everyone who has put so much effort into and been involved with all the #MEAwareness stuff this week, it’s been fab! Check out the hashtags I’ve included throughout this post and I’ve also tagged some pages/people (from the top of my mind) who you should check out for more info and insight into life with M.E: @meactnet @meassociation @millionsmissing @hollytreekitchen @thisthingtheycallrecovery @justagalwithme @chronicallyhetty @mindfullyevie @memyselfand_m.e @nnkmll . *please maybe tag other people in the comments to help folks reach similar pages and make new friends?

Co-written with @bernadette.abraham⁣ ⁣ Iron deficiency, the most common cause of anemia globally, is quite common.⁣ ⁣ It occurs when iron intake and iron stores are insufficient to support production of the body’s red blood cells, which carry iron-rich proteins known as hemoglobin.⁣ ⁣ Hemoglobin is responsible for tissue oxygenation--the delivery of oxygen to tissue.⁣ ⁣ Insufficient iron, then, spells disaster, often leading to immense fatigue.⁣ ⁣ In general, barring hemorrhage, iron deficiency anemia is slow to develop, and can have myriad root causes, including: ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Internal bleeding, for example due to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or long term aspirin use⁣ ✅ Heavy menstrual bleeding, made worse by low thyroid function⁣ ✅ Malabsorption, for example, in the form of celiac disease or food sensitivities⁣ ✅ Gut dysfunction, such as H. pylori infections leading to hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) which impedes iron absorption⁣ ✅ Pathogens, such as parasites and yeast overgrowth which use up iron stores & block absorption ⁣ ✅ Inflammation, such as mercury toxicity which interferes with iron synthesis⁣ ✅ Calcium supplementation or calcium-fortified foods impeding absorption⁣ ✅ Long-distance running & intense frequent exercise⁣ ✅ Lack of iron in diet⁣ ✅ Ingestion of substances which interfere with iron absorption, such as caffeine, antacid medication, and dairy⁣ ✅ A genetic mutation limiting iron absorption⁣ ✅ Low ceruloplasmin and bioavailable copper cause the body to store iron in the liver and brain instead.⁣ ⁣ The good news is that iron deficiency anemia is fully reversible when addressing the root cause and is easily diagnosed. To test, request the following markers from your health care practitioner:⁣ ⁣ Serum Iron⁣ Ferritin*⁣ Total iron binding capacity (TIBC)⁣ Unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC)⁣ Transferrin saturation percentage⁣ ⁣ *The earliest stage of iron deficiency is the slow depletion of iron stores, or ferritin, so ensure this is included as part of the panel.⁣ ⁣ Stay tuned for part two on the best ways to replenish low iron levels.⁣ ⁣ References in comments ⁣
