Well it is safe to say the last 12months have been completely different times to what we have been use to.

Living with an autoimmune disease during these uncertain times has been somewhat difficult and uncertain with everything. From not being able to leave at the height of the pandemic, to going back to work with a “New Normal” then back into a Firebreak (live in Wales), then work for a 2 months then all of a sudden Bang! A third lockdown with hardly any notice just before Christmas.

This lockdown though I have to say, has been more unsettling than the other lockdowns. It possibly has not helped with it being the Winter months and not able to go out much due to the weather conditions and dark evenings.

But a few good things have come out of this latest lockdown:- able to trial new medication while not coming into contact with anyone other than husband/daughter, 1st COVID vaccine received and even though was not very well 48hrs after was able to stay at home and rest until better and finally quality time with our daughter.

At least the lockdown rules in Wales are changing, so we are able to see family and friends.
