I’m going to treat this post as if you’re a regular reader to my blog and know bits about me, so I’m not going to share the usual where I’m from, how many siblings I have, kinda thing. Hopefully I won’t bore you to tears but if I do, go read one of my more…

30 Things My Chronic Illness Has Taught Me
Well, I’m 30 now guys, I officially left my twenties behind yesterday and wheeled right into my dirty thirties. I don’t feel any different and I’m constantly told I don’t look my age, so I have nothing to complain about. I’ll be celebrating my birthday this weekend when my parents come to visit with my…
Getting to Know Me: The Blogger Tag
I haven’t taken part in a tag post for so long, so when the lovely Francesca over at My Life in Rose Tinted Glasses nominated me, I thought it was about time I got back on that bandwagon and divulged even more about me. I mean, it’s not like I don’t share everything as it…
A Day In The Life: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
This week it’s Hypermobility Syndromes Awareness Week #HMSAware and obviously it’s really important to me as I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type 3. What many people don’t realise is that the HMSA (a bloody amazing charity) take all hypermobility syndromes into account, not just EDS, and it’s vital that the other hypermobility syndromes get enough attention…
Life Update #2 We have a House
Hey, guess what? WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! First off let me apologise for not posting on Friday, I don’t like missing/changing schedule as I’m a stickler for a routine, but I’ve had a completely justifiable reason. A week ago, Ian and I got the keys to our new house and we’ve been so busy getting…
The Consultation: Stanmore Pain Management and Rehabilitation Programme, Part Two
I was really nervous; sick to the stomach nervous. I know the pain management programme is a three week in-patient stay and I’m not okay with that. I’d been trying to convince myself not to go but deep down, I knew it was the best thing for me. My boyfriend came to the appointment with…
Life Update: We Moved
I’ve lived with my boyfriend for over a year. We lived with my parents in a town just outside of Liverpool but recently moved to Northants. It’s a three hour drive away but it’s where my boyfriend is originally from and all of his family live here. It’s a massive change, we live in a…
Biggest Achievement: University and a Chronic Condition
I graduated with a BA (Hons) English in 2012 and then a MA English in 2013; they will forever be up there with my biggest accomplishments. Above is my favourite picture from my Masters graduation with my boyfriend; why are the most ridiculous photos always the best? I went to Edge Hill University, started at…
May Awareness Month: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Awareness month. Have you ever heard of EDS? EDS is caused by faulty collagen, it’s genetic, I was born with it. There are several different types, some much rarer and severe than others. I have type III, more commonly known as the hypermobility type; I’m very bendy, have…
Welcome to Wonderland
I’m Sarah, I’m 28, I’m originally from Liverpool but live in Lancashire and I’m disabled. I used to write a blog, not religiously, just as and when I remembered, but since I’ve been reading a lot I decided to get back into it. I guess you could say I’m a ‘not so new newbie’. More…
