About the author
J.D. Ford
4 books3 followersMy name is Jamie Ford, and I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you all, and explain how I got into writing. This may start off sounding like a sob story, but I assure you, it is nothing of the sort.
You see, I have not had the best of luck when it comes to my health. I was once a fork lift truck driver and I loved that job. I was good at it. But something happened to me which I had not anticipated, I began having seizures.
I underwent numerous testing to find out what was wrong, my thoughts were merely that it was epilepsy. I was having seizures almost every day and they showed no sign of slowing down, I was no longer able to drive the fork lift and was forced out of the job.
Eventually, I had been given a diagnosis of NEAD(Non-epileptic attack disorder) and they found that my trigger was stress.
I then went on a course which taught me mindfulness, I took control of my stress and reduced it to the point where the seizures came once or twice a month.
Fast forward a while to Christmas of 2008. I came down with the Flu. I had never before had the flu, but I knew that it would knock me down for a few weeks at most. I rested, got plenty of sleep, but it lingered.
I went back to the doctor after a month, still sick as a dog. They then told me that I had developed Bronchitis. Nothing too serious. It went away, but left something behind that was far worse than simple flu. I started to get pains in my hands whenever I used them, my grip was getting weaker and weaker.
Other things started to crop up too, like going to bed because I was exhausted, only to wake up completely unrefreshed as though I had not slept at all. I began experiencing confusion more and more, the pain had spread throughout my body and I was no longer able to walk more than a few feet at a time without being in agony.
I saw so many doctors and specialists, and went through a myriad of tests until (almost 5 years later) I was given a diagnosis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Otherwise known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
There isn't a hell of a lot you can do for ME/CFS, but managing my condition was helped extremely well with the course of mindfulness I had taken in order to lower my stress because of NEAD.
It looked like I would never work again. I had so much trouble sleeping through the pain that I had to distract myself by imagining short stories in my head as I attempted to rest.
This is where the spark happened, I came across an idea. It took a hold of me like a virus and would not let me go. Plot began to form, characters began to evolve and a world began to take shape.
I decided to write it down.
Becoming ill has been a blessing in disguise. Had I not fallen ill, I would not have found that I enjoyed writing more than I could have ever imagined. Exploring the deepest recesses of my mind for an imagination long forgotten.
And that is why I'm here today, to share my story along with the one I have created.
