~ My life with Fibromyalgia and Fatigue ~

I am 36 and for the past three years I have lived with a condition called Fibromyalgia and Chronic fatigue.  I hate it with so much passion, I feel like it has robbed me of so much. I am learning to live with it,  to focus on managing it rather than fight it! Fighting it only adds to the exhaustion.  I used to be a fit & healthy woman who was always on the go. My life had order to it and I was always organised. The real changing point was when I found out I was expecting our fifth child back in 2014.  Right from the beginning, this pregnancy was different. The sickness was horrendous and continued right up until the day our little girl came into the world.  Around 27 weeks, I developed nasty little  infection in the womb which went by the name 'chorioamnionitis' which caused sepsis in both myself and Anna. As a result of this, Anna was born via emergency section at 29 weeks. I spent 11 days in hospital. By the grace of God both recovered from this and as the months went by

So here I am finally taking my Husbands advice and starting my very own blog! its something I have put of for such a long time as I tend to be self critical and think who would be interested..but I have wanted to do this for while now so I will keep my first one basic and give you guys and idea of who I am. My name is Diane and I am a 36 year old mum with five children from 17 to 3 years old! as you can imagine its a busy household and life I have...talk about pressure haha Like many bloggers I am so keen  to share  my ideas on parenting advice and experiences, interiors more so on children bedroom, fashion including kids fashion and make up with you all (which I rarely ever where now) much to my annoyance as I am a product junkie... I also as a woman with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome want to offer support and advice on living with this condition.   My five children are my world and I have loved being mum even though I was only 19 when my eldest was born who is Melanie
