Hello :)

Hello 

Thank you for reading my blog. My name is Marti, I'm 22 and was diagnosed with chronic lung disease or COPD in nov 2013. I also have epilepsy, a high risk of lung collapse, complex migraines and dyslexia. Over the years I have learnt to be proud of my disability and be happy to be different. 

When I was diagnosed with COPD I was shocked and scared. I wanted to know what life is like for a young person with COPD but couldn't find much. I used to be a competitive ballroom and Latin dancer, I lived to dance and was very active before I was poorly so this felt like a death sentence.

This blog aims to show what life is like for me and that life carries on even with this diagnosis. I will share the good, the bad and all in between with some randoms thrown in too

Please feel free to contact me I hope to learn some about this condition and am open to advice and ideas 

Xx
