She’s aware of the lifespan associated with her medical condition. But her strong will and determination to use every single minute of her life constructively is so admirable. She is here to inspire us-so that when we feel we are at the lowest ebb in life, we have time to reflect that we shouldn’t underestimate the strength we all have in overcoming any challenges coming our way.

@rachelmartin3631 Год назад

You might be surprised, but many people who battle chronic illness are extremely resilient. They tend to have a more positive look on life. I have refractory epilepsy, in other words my seizures don't respond well to medications. I ended up with multiple gran-mal seizures every day, and I just learned to deal with it, to smile when I fell down and woke up in a strange place. I lived with teasing and rude remarks. I thank God medical science has come so far. I now have an implant, and I've been seizure free for 3 years. People like Louise don't have that kind of help, that makes it harder to smile. But with a positive outlook, even without "cures", anything can be done.

I'm scared of having children due to my family having sociopaths, autisms, adhd, bipolar and psychopaths. I have adhd and autism and have suffered bullying all my life as I could not speak well to others face to face and I freeze. Typing doesn't seem to affect me so much.

I visited the Mütter Museum (College of Physicians) in Philadelphia with my husband once and was complaining about my feet hurting as we’d been walking a lot that day. We got to the display of a skeleton of someone who died in his 40’s of this disease. I swore then and there never to complain about sore feet again. What pain must they endure. This young woman is just so brave and beautiful.

Louise is such an inspiration to us all. She's not let her F.O.P. limit her from pursuing her life-long dream of being a part of the fashion world. I'm a chronic pain patient that has to battle with severe anxiety and depression. I feel so encouraged to live by her standards to never let my disability stop me from doing what I most enjoy in life anymore. The strength it took for her, knowing the pain she'd more than likely suffer from pushing herself brought me to tear's. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Louise. I truly wish you all the best!

Its horrific and its also painful. Ive seen it before. Why Dads run away from disabled kids shows how weak n selfish many men are. She is so brave to endure.

@westzed23 Год назад

What a fine talented young woman Louise is. She has her own sense of style and takes ideas from what she sees in magazines but also on the street. During the two work placements she presented her ideas well and had them used. The people listened to what she had to say which is important in working at another business or with one's own employees. After her return to Scotland, Louise made a brave choice to start her own fashion and consulting site. As this allows her to work from home, I can see how she deals with her disability and running her business at her own pace as she has good days and bad. And what a wonderful family that supports her. I believe that Louise will be successful because of her talent and her determination, and she truly has fun at it. All the best of luck. A side note: I see that Louise looks a bit like Paris Hilton with her style and in the face.

Use the time you have and enjoy life even if you have some road blocks along the way and be grateful and never take having a healthy body for granted it’s not a given. 👼🏼

What a courageous, inspiring young lady. I have severe M.E and fibromyalgia. So I can relate to the frustration of having to factor in recovery-payback after any activity. She's a lot younger than me. I too was determined at her age. Sadly for me I went from full time work ,in fact several simultaneous jobs, then going to part time....then volunteering...eventually things became impossible to sustain without the impact on my health and I Havnt worked since 2010-12 I Don't have the support network she has . She's a very loving strong family of female role models and I think she's on the right path and certainly strong mind. I hope there really is a medical breakthrough in a few years to give her a better quality of life and a prolonged life as she certainly would really live her best life. Really great to watch given me a little more fight to get through my days too...

Issues include easy and frequent joint dislocation and subluxation, wounds reopen, widen or just do not heal well, scar permanently very easily, blood vessels and internal organs are weaker, rupture too easily...And it's progressive too.
