About Me
I studied and have qualified as a pre school teacher, but because I always feel tired and have pain it is impossible to teach. I have always had feet problems since the age of 8 years but all the doctors that I have been to could not find out what was wrong. I had a bunion operation at 13 yrs and after that my left foot was always in pain and no one could touch the foot. I then had an exploratory operation on the foot. But the doctor could not found out what was wrong. When I was 9 mnths old I had convulsion which left me with minimal brain damage and also my left side was weak. Which obviously caused a lot of my problems I also had a learning problem. But have studied and pushed myself to improve and also been determined. After two years going through so much stress losing my hair, and also my dad passing away in 2005. I was finally was diagnosed. Thank goodness it has a name to it. I feel it is getting worse and my hands seem to be weak as well. I now walk with a walking stick. I am over my stress. I sometimes have the odd day when I am stressed but it is not as bad anymore. I think my dad would like me to move on.
Interests
My hobbies are baking, art, reading. I also love animals.

My dad passed away two and a half years ago. I nursed him with my family till the end. So everyday I watch him dying and it was so horrible. I did not want him to go, but had to say good bye. At least I could do that. After he passed I went into total depression, I lost my hair and I did not want to leave the house. This went on for 2 years, and because of all this it brought on all my illnesses.I have move on but I still have my days that I cry, I miss him so much.

Open Dyslexia
I have got a learning Disability, But it is not Dyslexia. My problem is a Auditory problem, which means that I am sound deaf, I don't hear the sounds of words. But it has improved a lot and I can hear more sounds of words these days. My spelling has got a lot better and so has my reading. I have work hard to get it better than it was.
