Haggard Hanslow

I was diagnosed with M.E and Fibromyalgia in February 2013 (before this i worked upwards of 60+ hours a week) after years of going back and fourth to the doctor due to struggling with day to day life and repeatedly feeling ill. I try and do as much as I can everyday without pushing myself and pacing is the name of the game. I was starting to get depressed (especially after I single-handedly organised our wedding from my bed) that the world was turning everyday and felt life was passing me by a little. I felt very stuck; hence Haggard Hanslow. I decided to try and raise awareness of this illness, give support to both sufferers and carers and hopefully meet some friends along the way, even if most of this is being written and accomplished while sitting in bed. I want to give a true representation of this illness and try and push myself too to fund raise and create events, I want to use the skills I still have before these illnesses try to take them away from me.
