About Mel Bell 🌼

I'm Mel, an Aussie in my mid-twenties just trying to do the best I can, with what I have, exactly where I'm at.

Here I share my experience of life with chronic illness and disability, to encourage others, and raise awareness.

Even though the doctors told me I would spend my life in bed, I'm pursuing healing, trying to be as healthy as possible, and finding ways to improve & adapt to my condition in my day-to-day life functioning in my surroundings.

I'm learning to see God's grace in hard places and heal from trauma

I have been told I have a genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). As connective tissue is everywhere in the body, EDS affects many systems in my body, some secondary conditions I also talk about are CCI & AAI, POTS, Scoliosis, MCAS, TMJ issues, MALS, and Endometriosis.

I used to have a feeding tube, but now I don't :D
