Over time I found my work becoming increasingly focused around my journey with a chronic illness; during which I had been misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, which would inevitably see me go without appropriate treatment. After having been suffering from undiagnosed PoTS and Hip Dysplasia for a prolonged period, I found myself being unable to walk safely with crutches and having to rely increasingly on my wheelchair to get around, and my family and I decided it would be best for me to purchase a nicer chair as the model I had at the time wasn't bought as an investment, but a quick fix; and no longer met my needs.

So began my hunt for my current chair - and in doing so I discovered AYL and saw how many other individuals had EDS and were using wheelchairs for similar reasons. It was the first time I had seen representation in such a manner. Without AYL I would not be the proud owner of Loopwheels, which have been so helpful in reducing vibration and cushioning all the bumps I frequently experience with living in a rural community, and I certainly wouldn't have this awesome opportunity to connect with you readers, nor had the chance to explore topics and products I previously wouldn't have had the knowledge nor motivation to do so alone.

I hope that your experience with AYL is as fulfilling as mine and many other individuals with disabilities - and that you discover equipment which supports both your lifestyle and your needs. I am so looking forward to seeing my many blog post ideas come to fruition. But until then, please feel free to leave a comment or message me directly via Instagram!
