Broken is...
The place I can come to empty my mind, vent and share my thoughts - and other things I've written. Some of my thoughts may not be.. ahem...cheerful...
You see, I was born broken. I was born with a rare condition, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, that has caused pain and problems since I was 12 years old. That was 26 years ago, and over the years I have had to fight against disbelief, ignorance and a medical establishment inept at dealing with my issues.
In 2006, it caused an accident that brought my world to its knees and my life to a standstill. It led to the revelation that I had other rare medical conditions - and to the discovery that even eminent doctors had been wrong, had made mistakes. I've been stuck at home, unable to work, since then, and to be honest it's driving me crazy! I'd love to be able to get back to the land of the employed, but until then, I'll have to satisfy myself with writing here - and hopefully raise some awareness of the medical issues I have and maybe help those who have them too. Take time to have a look at conditions. It'll explain what I'm moaning about! It may also help you spot a problem in yourself or someone you know. if you like any of the images you see, click on them to see the photographer's portfolio. Get in touch if you've got a poem, short story or article you'd like me to put in your stuff. After all, we all have a bit that is broken.... |
