I can’t believe it has been nearly 6 months since I started posting online about my eczema. After suffering for 2 long years, I nearly hit breaking point in February 2018, and that’s when I decided to help myself. Ignore the GPS, the prescribed creams, steroids, UV treatment, bandages, everything I was getting offered to me, because it didn’t work. In March 2018 most might remember I was taken into hospital. After being in A&E for 8 hours, I was given a steriod and told to go home and try it, but thankfully I said no. I cried and begged the doctors to actually do something, to seriously look at me and see me suffering the way I was. They took my bloods and realised I had an infection in my blood and that my white blood cells weren’t looking the way they should - the doctor thanked me for being persistent, otherwise I wouldn’t have known any different and would have been sent home with more cream. After spending 5 days in hospital, I saw a new dermatologist who prescribed me with methotrexate - a drug I was dying to try for so so long. 9 weeks later, I’m looking back at my Instagram and crying at how bad it was, it’s like I can actually feel the pain I used to be in. Some are against methotrexate because it can be seen as a type of chemotherapy, but it’s changed my life. I’m at a point I thought I’d never be, you can see that by reading the post I have put in this pic. Never give up on yourself when you’re suffering, despite wanting to so so bad, even if it seems the only option. I would never feel the way I do just now, or look for that matter if it wasn’t for posting online, putting it out there, and receiving the help and support I did and still do. It’s crazy that I suffered for so long, and in so little time how much has changed. Nothing is impossible, even if it seems it

Came across this one today and it is so true! People are always so shocked when they see me and find out I have RA!

Prayers needed for my little fighter. This round has been hard, with allergic reactions, high blood pressure and rapid heart rate. The chemo levels in his blood have come back 10x higher than the accepted level at 24 hours post chemo and he is at high risk for kidney damage as well as other organs, his wound, and his digestive tract. He is on high dose rescue meds, and the hospital is flying in a new rescue medication from Toronto which should arrive tomorrow morning to help flush the chemo rapidly from his body to reverse the toxicity in his bloodstream.

About 24 hours off finishing an entire full cycle of chemo!?! feeling as tired as I look but am so ready to be 1/6 complete!!! I'm immeasurably thankful for all the people looking out for me, thankful for my hieroglyphics necklace from Egypt, thankful for pot noodles, and thankful that I still have eyebrows. In that order. #bankholidayweekend #gonnasleepinmyownbed #cantwaittosnuggle #osteosarcoma #fightthegoodfight #squashingmysarcoma #macmillandreamteam #wheelchair #chemotherapy #methotrexate #backpack #PICCpower #cancerfighter #eyebrowson #forgetaboutfleek #theyrestillon

My hair hit a milestone this weekend people! This time 4 years ago my hair began to fall out faster than I could imagine. My hair was unhealthy from months of malnourishment and I was attempting to taper off steroids causing my hormones to go crazy. You don’t realize how much you love your hair until you lose it in massive chunks. It has taken four years of horrible hairstyles, my sweet friend @lcoates08 working her magic to make it look normal and doing all the things to get it to grow back healthy. It drove me crazy that I had such a thick section around my face that was so short for years as it grew back and this weekend I cut my hair and said goodbye to the last sign of hair loss. It’s all the same length for the first time in 4 years. The daily visible reminder of the hell I went through is gone! Seems silly, but it’s a Crohn’s victory!

Always fly in style Ending 2018 on a thankful note seems to have paid off! I am on my first flight in 2 years and my first international trip since I got sick 8 years ago! Obviously my doctors wanted me to start with a smaller trip, but go big or go home and I'm going to Belize!! I have a slew of feelings; excitment, anxiety, happiness, fear and they're all happening at once, but I am thrilled to finally be strong enough to have this chance! I want to do everything, but I know I also have to pace myself if I want a second trip so here's to balance. #notmyforte Pouting my lips with some food coloring and sparkly lip gloss from @maccosmetics #safetravels #spooniefashion #spooniewarrior #prettypout #autoimmunediseases #chronicillness #psoriaticarthritis #psoriaticcolitis #prednisone #methotrexate #fightingforward #firsttrip #belize #traveladventures

How about this.... if I face one of my fears today, will you try to face one of yours? First dose MTX - 7/11/18 Here’s to hoping that it helps my body in the weeks to come. (And here’s to hoping that my emetophobic nightmares are spared and my stomach can tolerate it)
