Welcome to My Blog – My Name is Alisha and I am an Advocate | Blogger | and Influencer, I bring a unique perspective to the creator community as I navigate life predominantly from my bed due to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Endometriosis, Steatohepatitis, and De Quervains Syndrome affecting both hands.

My interactions with the outside world are limited to essential appointments, often necessitating ambulance trips to the hospital during severe bouts of pain.

I strongly believe in the power of my voice, representing the millions worldwide facing similar challenges. Those enduring the complexities of illnesses like Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, women grappling with Endometriosis, and individuals relying on wheelchairs and aids for daily living.

I aim to stand out by fostering genuine connections and collaborations.

Travelling with a Wheelchair

Travelling is one of life’s greatest joys, but for those of us who rely on wheelchairs, it can present unique challenges, particularly when venturing abroad. As a wheelchair user, I understand the anxiety that comes with entrusting your mobility device to an airline, knowing that if something goes wrong, your entire trip could be jeopardised. This blog post aims to offer practical advice and reassurance to fellow wheelchair users who dream of exploring the world, with tips on how to prepare for your journey, protect your wheelchair, and deal with any unfortunate incidents that may arise.

White Background with black text The ME Community

Friends with ME is a support network of people with ME or “Friends with ME” It is a group where we can talk openly to people who understand how we feel. It’s also for carers and family members of people with ME who also need support. This group will very shortly be running support groups in Liverpool, I am aiming to have regular group meetings up and running in 2024. Most importantly between us, we can do anything.

Talk with ME is a page to share information about ME Talk with ME is here to support Our Family, Friends and Carers as we understand that this illness directly affects the people closest to us. Talk with ME is a safe place, we do not allow bullying or spam comments. Any member can send a message directly to me if they are uncomfortable and I will personally investigate before taking action.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Carer Community is here to allow people who care for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis sufferers to talk privately. It is no secret that life with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is extremely difficult yet the people who care for ME sufferers are often forgotten about. Alisha wanted this page to be a place where the carers and families could talk privately, a place where we could ask each other for help and support or advice. This group is managed by Alishas Daughter who also works full time so if you do have any questions and you need help please message us and we will come back to you as soon as we are able to.
