Book excerpt: Welcome to my book, 'How I Tamed the Wolf'. Wondering where the title came from? Here is the answer. 'Lupus' is the Latin word for 'Wolf'. In this book, I talk about my journey to being diagnosed with Lupus, along with my other conditions, my experiences and lessons learnt along the way, and how I went about taming the wolf and as a result, regaining some of my quality of life back again. I love to write. I love writing that much, I committed myself to writing weekly blogs about my life living with Lupus. Check out my website, livingwiththewolf.co.uk, to read them. I love sharing my honest experiences and showing the world that having a chronic illness does not always have to be so grim. I like to try and help other people who are suffering from similar problems, and to help them not feel so alone. Over the years of blogging, I've had lots of lovely feedback. I have suggested things that readers would never have thought of, given people reassurance that they're not the only person suffering from their problems, and inspired them to remain positive. All this wonderful feedback has led me to want to write this book. To spread my knowledge further, to dig into my past, and share how life can really be like with a chronic illness. This book is about me being transparent about my life Living with the Wolf. No lies, no exaggerations, just the honest truth. Inside this book, you will get to know all about me and my life Living with the Wolf. You will learn about my journey to getting diagnosed with Lupus, Sjogren's, Raynaud's, and Asthma. I talk about my experiences with different treatments, hospital admissions, and other problems I stumbled across along the way. I talk about how I deal with mental health, how to travel with a chronic illness, how I keep fit and healthy, and I share some of my favourite recipes that taste great, are easy to make, and are healthy and nutritious. But the biggest drive to writing this book is talking about How I Tamed the Wolf. How I changed my life around in just one year. My quality of life was deteriorating quicker than I could count to ten. But now, I feel as good as I did pre-diagnosis. I haven't cured the wolf, but I've tamed it to a level where I can live my life once again, and I couldn't be happier! Now, I want to share it with you. At the time of writing this book, I am shielding at home from COVID-19 due to being in the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable group. For anyone who isn't aware of the shielding group, the UK Government has put together a list of people who are most vulnerable to and most likely to need hospital treatment if they were to catch COVID-19. Everyone in the shielding group has been asked to isolate at home, where it is safest. At the start of writing this book, I was in the first UK lockdown, on week 13 / day 91 of shielding. I have only left the house for exercise or hospital / doctor appointments. I am now in the UK's third lockdown and I have given up counting the number of days I have been shielding! If I were to tell you things have been plain sailing, I would be lying. Though, I am incredibly grateful to have a system like shielding in place to protect and keep me safe. One of the positive things to have come out from me shielding for a long period of time is that it has given me time to focus on writing this book. Now, grab your cup of tea (or whatever you like to drink!) find a comfy chair, sit back, and enjoy.
