Hi everyone. I'm going by KT at the moment so that's what we'll call me.

I'm 26 years of age and from North East England and I started this page because I feel people got sick of me constantly moaning on my personal facebook :')

I have 1. HSD, 2. Fibro, 3. Asthma, 4. IBSD, 5. Overactive Bladder, 6. BPD, 7. DID, 8. Anxiety, 9. Dysthymia, 10. Autism Spectrum Disorder, 11. allergies to lots of things (mcas???), 12. Trichotillomania/Dermatillomania, 13. Plantar Fasciitis and 14. Costochodritis.

All of my conditions vary, a LOT, day to day. One day I'm fine and I go out with just my stick, the next day I could be sleeping for 19 hours and reliant on my wheelchair.

_______________________________________________________________________

To find out about my conditions, please read the below descriptions (in basic terms!):

1. HSD/JHS (Joint Hypermobility Syndrome) means my collagen is a bit faulty and all my joints are a bit more bendy than they should be. I'm more at risk of dislocations and subluxations due to this, it also means my joints are weak so I wear a lot of supports because without them I sprain really easily.

2. Fibromyalgia: This is effectively pain in all my fibrous tissue (muscles etc). Basically, my brain has gone a bit funny and now sends off pain signals all over the place telling me I'm in pain all the time when I shouldn't be. It can be related to trauma (god knows I've had that in my teenage years) or can come on suddenly after an accident or injury. It also makes me tired, confused, affects my sleep, makes my IBS worse, affects my bladder and gives me migraines. It means I'm really sensitive to stimuli too like loud noises, temperatures and sensations.

3. Asthma: It ain't easy been' wheezy!

4. IBS: MY body hates food basically. No matter what I eat I always end up with a stomach upset. Could be indigestion, heartburn, reflux, diahorrea or constipation. Because of my hyper mobility, I'm at risk of a compacted bowel too. YAY.

5. OB: I need to pee. ALL. THE. TIME.

6. BPD: I prefer the term EUPD (Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder). This means I have mood swings ALL DAY ERRYDAY and I also get psychosis symptoms such as paranoia and delusions. I also get auditory hallucinations. Scary shit! I have bad coping mechanisms, I'm angry a lot of the time, I feel empty and lost and I fear being abandoned so I push them away. Why? BPD logic!

7. DID: This is my newest diagnosis. I'm a bit confused by it. It used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder, but it's been renamed. I pretty much just stop being me. It's weird when it happens, like if there was a control panel in my head with a tiny me sitting at it, it's like she leaves to go to the toilet or something and I'm functioning but I'm not myself. Dissociation is my coping technique but according to the crisis team, I now need a coping mechanism for my coping mechanism hahaha.

8. Anxiety is awful. I have Emetophobia as part of it and it rules my life. When I'm anxious, my Trich is worse too. I have panic attacks and sometimes can't be alone.

9. Dysthymia is persistent low mood without the symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder. So aye, I'm a Negative Nancy.

10. Autism: Well, this is also new. I don't really know how to explain this because it is who I am. Things I do can and have been diagnosed and it's weird to me. I have trouble understanding others, I need complete instructions, I'm obsessed/fixated on certain things/interests, I'm not good at reading facial expressions,i get distracted and scared in large groups etc. I'm impulsive... Yeah. It's basically all of who I am.

11. I'm allergic to lots of things. Hayfever, animals, dust, flowers, tomatoes, etc.

12. Trichotillomania/Dermatillomania means I constantly subconsciously pull out my hair or pick my skin until it scabs or bleeds. I don't realise I'm doing it unless someone points it out to me. To keep this at bay, I have no eyebrows or hair on my head but now I have no eyelashes anymore. You win some, you lose some.

13. Plantar Fasciitis is a pain in the bottom of my heel. Sort of like I've stepped on a plug or a drawing pin but it Neve goes away. I have it in both feet so standing for a while is a no no to me, as is walking around barefoot.

AND FINALLY

14. Costochondritis is an inflammation of the cartilage and ligaments and stuff in your ribs. It affects me on my left side and on my breastbone. A lot of people with it feel like they're having a heart attack which is totally understandable. I get it mostly if I sit hunched for too long.

GRAT/S IF YOU READ ALL OF THAT.
