However you say it – this is a universal truth: Health Matters. For you, your nearest and dearest, the wider community, and globally.
Health issues are many and various:
- so obvious it’s nigh impossible to not notice; others hidden, secretive, invisible
- some will raise high levels of sympathy while others may cause revulsion and repugnance
- some appear trivial, others life-changing
- physical / emotional / mental / neurological
- known worldwide / experienced by a very small percentage of people
My own understanding of health matters goes back over many years and this is why I want to share my experiences with others. If it only opens up knowledge or a greater understanding to a handful of individuals then I’ll be happy. Over almost seven decades I have come head-to-head with:
- depression with psychosis and anxiety
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- bi-polar 1 (with psychosis)
- autism
- Sensory Integration Dysfunction with balance problems
- carpal tunnel syndrome and severe foot pain
- migraine
- arthritis
There have been too many hospital admissions, too many treatments, and too much time wasted for my liking.
But hey! I’m still here and I have achieved over those same years.
So please, take what you can from my experience, and perhaps you would like to share your own to open up the conversation.
