Hello,
My name is Alana, I’m going to be very to the point. I’m a person with multiple long term health issues including a degenerative soft tissue disease and multiple heart and blood pressure issues. I’m 31 years old and I have a primary caregiver. He is also my brand new husband. I’m so so so lucky to have a magical person who puts me first and isn’t embarrassed because I’m severely physically disabled.
I’m looking forward to using the app to take the control I can take back and that’s it’s a non medical way for me to directly fight back!!

Thanks I really do. I’m sitting at his job site he’s working the morning then taking me to a nasty neurologist appointment. I’m illustrating a book about dragons my mum and older sis started when I was a child like 6. I’m born in the year of the dragon 🐉. I’m feeling lucky today.1
