#duet with @eviemeg🍉 another debbie attack. now in my left leg & both feet, neck, shoulder, left arm & hand/fingers. waiting for muscle relaxers to kick in 💗 #dystonia #dystoniaawareness #dystoniawarrior #fyp
if you watch the whole thing - thank you💜 this isn’t easy for me to talk about but i’ve been wanting to for quite a while now. there are many reasons my tics are much better these days, but there’s also a reason i don’t make tourettes/tic videos anymore and even edit tics out of my videos. 2021 had a huge effect on me that i did talk about at the time but the effects are still ongoing even now💜back then i was asked by writers and interviewers to talk about the ‘rise in tics’ with them for articles etc and i kept turning them down. in 2022 i was also invited on the documentary that channel 4 did and again i also turned that down and i’m very glad i did. it is just such a difficult topic for me, i still can’t quite believe everything that happened🥴 some things to note: - because of the inflammation in my body and brain, it’s likely i have functional tics aswell as tourettes. i have shown before the difference in my PANS tics VS my daily tics from tourettes. my PANS tics are more severe, and incredibly complex. - the ‘rise in tics’ during lockdown was a rise in functional tics, very different to tourettes which is a life long genetic disorder, has a different and slower/more gradual onset, different presenting tics & many other factors that are different. - functional tics ≠ fake tics - i believe my tics being so bad during 2020 & 2021 was due to my PANS, which makes sense because of the extreme amount of infection that was around at the time. (even though yes i’d had tics for years before then as shown in the video, but i have a mix of tourettes & PANS tics, both diagnosed) im really worried about saying something wrong but thank you for watching & listening to this and hopefully it answers all the questions i’ve been getting💜🧠 #tics #tourettessyndrome #tourettes #foryou #dailymail #foryoupage #functionaltics #encephalitis #ticsandtourettes #PANS
sharing for dystonia awareness🤍 dystonia is a neurological movement disorder which causes involuntary muscle contractions, often putting the person in unnatural positions & postures. it’s a very painful and debilitating condition. my dystonia has autoimmune causes, and i’ve had dystonia for 6 years now, but it never used to be like this. this was the 18th of february🤍 #dystonia #awareness #fyp #dystoniawarrior #lymedisease #autoimmuneencephalitis #autoimmunedisease #bartonella #foryou #dystoniaawareness
it’s not funny but it is a bit 😭 this is one of those laugh or you’ll cry situations🥲 (i didn’t injure my back doing contortion and i don’t have scoliosis, i have cervical dystonia) #fyp #darkhumor #dystoniaawareness #dystonia #cervicaldystonia #gymnast #contortion #contortionist #foryou
can’t believe it😭 my last tonic clonic seizure was 9th of december 2024. I HAVEN’T HAD A TONIC CLONIC THIS YEAR!! who is she😭 forever grateful to my doctors for my treatment plan & antibiotics. i’ve had seizures for 8 years and literally don’t know the last time i went this long without a tonic clonic. i’ve had some absences & unusual seizure moments but nothing major or convulsive. it’s so crazy😭 it’s so hard to celebrate this win with my dystonia being the way it is but genuinely it’s baffling to me im so happy about it🥰💜☮️ #fyp #seizures #autoimmunedisease #autoimmuneepilepsy #seizurewarrior #inflamedbrain #encephalitis #lymedisease #bartonella #foryou
*trigger warning, OCD compulsions, seizures, tics, catatonia, cannula, potentially upsetting footage* i’ve had a lot of people asking me for a while now if im actually seeing improvements from my treatment. so i made this video to show you☺️looking at some of these videos, especially from 2022 when i was really sick i can see a huge difference in my face, and im so proud of how far ive come and im so so thankful i am finally being treated. my sudden onset was when i was 14, and my encephalitis wasn’t discovered until i was 22, then my lyme disease & bartonella wasn’t found till i was 23/24. this is why its such a long journey, my doctors did tell me early on its not going to be easy because these infections have been undiscovered in my blood for such a long time. i am have soooo much further to go but seeing these improvements is so promising🤍🫶🏻 if you are on a treatment journey right now, don’t give up, stick with it. some of it is absolutely awful and might make you worse for a while, but don’t quit, it does get better🤍 #fyp #awareness #encephalitis #seizures #autoimmuneencephalitis #lymedisease #bartonella #seizureawareness #lymewarrior #dystonia #advocate #treatmentjourney

my cruelty free makeup routine💗(with a slight blip) filmed the 16th. this caught me really off guard (hence the ‘what the f-’🤣) and i had another attack a few hours before this was filmed, but i love how the makeup turned out💗🌞 #crueltyfreemakeup #veganmakeup #crueltyfreebeauty #dystonia #dystoniaawareness #cervicaldystonia #MakeupRoutine #dystoniawarrior #positivity #fyp @W7Makeup@Makeup Revolution @MUA Cosmetics @nyxcosmetics_uk

with another trend going round, just remember sign language isn’t a trend it’s a language & way of communication. if you’re learning be sure to learn respectfully, from the deaf community, learn about deaf culture, the importance of facial expressions and interpretations when signing❤️🩹🫶🏻 #BSL #signlanguage #britishsignlanguage #fyp #dystonia #cervicaldystonia #foryou
wish i was lying when i say i tested positive for nearly all of these🤦🏻♀️if you have PANDAS PANS but symptoms persist despite treatment, there’s probably an infection like bartonella. and they’re the real monsters! very niche topic but video for education & awareness purposes💖#lymewarrior #lymedisease #bartonella #babesia #fyp #awareness #education #autoimmunedisease
