I started this channel with 'That Oxford Girl' but have now transitioned to use it to share more about my personal life.
'My Story':
I have lived with over 18 years of Tuberculosis (contracted from unpasteurised milk) and in 2018 was also diagnosed with the life-threatening condition Adrenal Insufficiency. My adrenal insufficiency has been so unstable, I am now on a 24 hour hydrocortisone pump, delivering steroid through a line into my tummy. Alongside this, I currently undergoing an 18 month antibiotic and chemotherapy treatment regime for TB.
My motto remains 'Giving up is NOT an option!'.
I am now using my Instagram @thattillyrose and this channel to open up about #LifeBehindTheLens with a chronic health condition. I will be sharing my patient experiences, coping strategies I have developed over many years, an insight into life spent in and out of hospital and my health journey, with the aim of increasing awareness about chronic illness and invisible illnesses.
