I have recently received three more health labels, Thumb Osteoarthritis NOS, Dupuytren’s contracture and Otosclerosis.

Despite this, I am taking a proactive approach, participating in a clinical thumb study and finding solutions like rechargeable hand warmers for my hands, as well as swimming.

Going to get my ears tested and see if I need hearing aids or just need to wait and see.

With a positive mind-set, I am managing my multiple health conditions – including asthma, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, vitiligo, and lymphedema through adopting healthier habits,  continue to use factor 50 sun-cream and having fun.

My labels do not define me or the actions I take. I intend to continue living life to the full, travelling with the hubster and family and volunteering.

Bring it on…
