Welcome all! My name is Tori and I am 20 years old. This is my little place on the internet dedicated to chronicling my journey with invisible, progressive, and long term illness.
First, a little about me. Before I got sick, I was an avid gymnast, swimmer, runner, and diver. Now that I am mostly house bound, I spend my time writing on this blog, my future book, and for other sites such as The Mighty. I also make and sell custom art and am attempting to teach myself how to play the guitar. I'm currently enrolled in school and studying to become an FNE (forensic nurse examiner). Activism is something that really fuels my fire, and for this reason, I was a citizen officer at my local police department as well as a hospital accompaniment advocate for assault victims. (this has recently been put on hold as seizures have stolen my ability to drive) My real struggle with health didn't begin until I was 16 but I have struggled with food allergies most of my life which is the reason behind my humorously titled "accidental" paleo diet! Hope you all enjoy your visit to The Accidental Paleo!
