Hey! What's Wrong With You?

Happy Coeliac Awareness Week!! This week's episode is dedicated to raising awareness of coeliac disease and encouraging people to visit their GP for a simple blood test if they are showing any signs or symptoms of the condition. I cover what it is, symptoms, diagnosis and my story. Please do get in touch with your stories and experiences!

After yet another short break (apologies for the long gaps between episodes!), I am going to focus on Addison's disease and adrenal insufficiency this week. What is it? How is it diagnosed? As well as treatments and complications. I hope it is informative and please let me know if you have experience with A.I. and any tips/tricks you have for dealing with the condition #wevegotthis @hey_whatswrongwithyou

In this episode I am going to talk about my experience so far with parenteral nutrition, both in hospital and at home. My what3words for this theme are hope, lifeline and strength (https://w3w.co/hope.lifeline.strength) which takes us to Tanout in Zinder. Do you have experience with PN? Any tips or tricks? Please get in touch! #wevegotthis @hey_whatswrongwithyou

COVID-19 Vaccine: this week I'll be talking about receiving my first dose of the COVID vaccine!

Please get in touch! What3words for this week are: grateful, protected, safe (https://w3w.co/grateful.protected.safe) which takes us to Xinzhi, Shankill Sheng in China! Where do your three words for the vaccine take you? #wevegotthis @hey_whatswrongwithyou

Addisonian Crisis: this mini cast details the first morning in the hospital which saw me spiral into an Addisonian crisis. What3words for this week are...fearful, scared, dangerous (https://w3w.co/fearful.scared.dangerous) which takes us near Quebec, Canada. Anyone else suffer with any form of adrenal insufficiency? How do you cope with adrenal crises? Please get in touch and share your stories! #wevegotthis @hey_whatswrongwithyou

Recently I was an in-patient for intestinal failure treatment. I haven't recorded anything in a while because I have been recovering and regaining strength. What I witnessed in that hospital was truly shocking. I am well aware of the struggles the NHS is facing, even more so since the start of the pandemic, but this was something else entirely. I am going to start doing shorter podcasts to recap the experience and raise awareness of the difficulties our healthcare system are up against...and the patients too. Buckle in!

Hello my lovelies! Everything health wise has been spiralling dangerously out of control the past couple of weeks...wahoo!! On top of all the medical palarva, I am back to being confined in my bedroom until the 2nd December (at the earliest) due to Shielding 2.0. Today ill discuss what's occurrin', how I'm feeling and what there is in the future. Sit back and relax as there is a...erm...unique "say what?!" segment this week. Stay strong fellow warriors, spoonies and zebras. We've got this

The past week to ten days have been a rollercoaster to say the least! This episode is a bit impromptu and will be a little late in being published due to the unplanned hospital admission to address my rapidly deteriorating health. I'll chat through what has happened...or not as the case is for most things!! ...and where we go from here. What3Words will be about admissions this week with a comical "say what?!" from a relative of mine and a positivity focus with what I'm grateful for this week. Please feel free to get involved with sharing stories, experiences, What3Words, say what's?! and much more on the @hey_whatswrongwithyou Instagram page. To get involved with What3Words, my answer of hope.care.support can be found at https://what3words.com/hope.care.support Thankyou for listening and have a wonderful week you beautiful people!
