Hey Guys I'm Devon Stearns.. I know I didn't fully introduce myself. But I thought why, not. It's always great to get know one another, with stories which will hopefully inspire and create an encouraging community. I was born with Mosaic Downs Syndrome. Which means it normally occurs in two percent of people with Downs Syndrome. Basically what it actually is is normal cells and with a mixture of an extra chromosome. One thing you've probably known about me so far from what you see on my page is photography and poetry. I never seen my life as inspiring but to everyone else it’s different it is like a window that looks in from how people get to know you. I also have OCD, people make fun of the abbreviation that stands for it. Some see it a cute little joke, Obessive Cleaning Disorder but it is more than that. I used to struggle with it really bad till I got the right help for it as I would step outside in cold weather in shorts and it would be a constant struggle to adapt to seasons. This ritual went on for a long time, eventually it got treated and with CBT retraining it got better and with the proper medication. It took a long time for the habit of rituals to decrease. It was so long ago, but with the right tools and hard work I persisted to get it done. My ocd is still there as it is with me for life, but it is manageable now. but I have however grabbed my mom’s camera at the age of eight and I discovered that I loved photography. It became my main love, and as we had company out, or if we had a party I’d be the photographer there to help out. My mom however soon noticed from all the company was over pictures would begin. It started from landscapes, to people, animals that would be fed from the feeder I would be there. She decided that it was best to have my own camera, it was a standard digital camera. At this point I took my camera everywhere, it wasn’t till 2010 that I owned my very first DSLR. It was my go to camera, I used it an awful lot. With my social media in 2009 progressed. My friend saw my posts as inspiring and very positive as she did tell me she would talk to her computer screen saying “you go girl!” My extra push was from that close friend as I did even land my very first photography gig. Thus my journey began from there as Frog Island Photography which I now cover topics from mental health, poems, animals and more topic blogs of my photography. When we put our minds to something positive and powerful you can do anything you put your mind too. Just know to never give up. #DownsSyndrome #inspire #creative #aboutme #OCD

Well... Hi! I thought I’d introduce myself.

I’m Pan, and as my profile says, I’m 25, I’m female and I’m gay. I’ve suffered with complex medical issues throughout my whole life but back in 2016 I was pretty much bombarded with a lot of stuff. For a while I didn’t think I was going to make it.

Ever since I was 8 years old, I’ve had problems peeing. Sometimes I just couldn’t go at all and I pushed so hard I hurt myself so bad and bled so much we all thought I’d started my period. No such luck. No, what I had is a condition called Interstitial Cystitis. It is very painful and quite debilitating. I wasn’t even diagnosed with this condition until 2016. I had 12 years of that hell with no explanations. I would get up at least 8 times a night to pee... Even now I still have to get up at least eight times. And some other times I just can’t pee at all. My bladder muscles “for no apparent reason” sometimes choose to not work. this is what a urologist told me.

I will admit, I’ve learned a few tricks that can help me quite well when it comes to controlling how much I pee, and I’ve learned to self catheterise so I no longer need to rush to hospital with a full bladder. I take instant release morphine for the pain, though. Even when I avoid ALL triggers I still need very heavy pain relief.

Anyway, moving on to my next condition. Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It’s a dysfunction of the Autonomic Nervous System. Basically, my brain and heart don’t communicate properly. When a healthy person stands up their blood pressure rises to go against gravity and push blood up to the brain. My brain doesn’t bother sending that signal to my heart and blood vessels so when I stand up gravity drags all my blood down into my calves (which is quite painful), this starves my brain of oxygen and I fall to the floor unconscious. Whilst I’m unconscious my heart starts pumping extremely fast (sometimes as fast as 190 beats per minute) to try and manually push the blood back to my brain. Each loss of consciousness usually lasts about a minute or two.

In late 2019 we discovered that I have Advanced Liver Fibrosis. But we have no idea why. All we DO know is that my liver is so very enlarged it pressed against my stomach HARD, making it difficult for me to eat more than a few bites of food before I become horribly and uncomfortably full. This can sometimes really hurt because my liver is literally squishing and moving my organs around inside.

I have several other health conditions but they’re all a bit boring and don’t impact my life as much as these ones do. I should mention, I’m unable to work because of my health. It’s made my life incredibly boring.

I hope everyone is as well as they can be. if you have any questions feel free to ask them.
