"Winning isn’t coming first
my greatest competitor is me
victory is never giving up...I am a runner"
For the past few months I have been submerged in a dark sea of uncertainty and despair. Finally I have emerged and am hopeful of a brighter future.
I have a firm and final diagnosis, a doctor I absolutely trust and a belief that life will be normal again. Two specialists in the last 10 days confirmed the diagnosis of an autoimmune disease called Dermatomyositis. It is a connective-tissue disease that is characterised by inflammation of muscles and skin and may also affect the joints, the esophagus, the lungs, and less commonly the heart. Further testing over the next few weeks will establish the necessary treatment.
