It’s Tuesday againnnn (Wednesday Thursday what) (anyone else completely sick of hearing that Friday song??? Lol just me??) Anyway! Hello!

I’m talking to my friend Emma Cusdin today, and she shares her story of being diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) - a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the platelets - the year after she lost her Mum, and started a year long contract touring New Zealand performing in schools.

In this episode Emma talks us through the months of bruising that led to someone saying “hey what’s up with your legs?”,  the moment she realised she wasn’t invincible, her coping strategies, the countless blood tests around the country, and what happens when the show simply can’t go on.

Like I say in the episode, I’d love to know your thoughts on pushing through when serious health things are going on. Send me a message over on instagram, @thatssochronic
