Two nights in my car for the winter solstice - continuing trying to navigate life with severe pectus excavatum (caved in chest), with inflammation in my chest wall joints and the resulting pain and breathlessness. Things are not easy right now but hopefully there is help on the horizon. I believe that things are gonna get better! Gear List

Back in the spring I started becoming unusually breathless, having issues with my heartrate and experiencing chest pain and exhaustion. As the months passed, I gradually became unable to do the things that I love, and I'm now at a point where I'm struggling with many aspects of day-to-day life. In May I was treated for costochondritis, which didn't work. In June I was told that a cyst in my spine was likely causing my issues. But actually, it turns out that I have a chest wall deformity called pectus excavatum, which means that faulty costal cartilage is causing my sternum to sink down into my chest cavity. This had gone undiagnosed my whole adult life as it's been obscured by breast tissue, but has now become severe, and my sternum is now compressing my heart. I have a Haller Index of 6.5 (measured on CT at inhale) and currently have a squished right ventricle and atrium. I’m having further tests to try to figure out what's happened in there, and being referred on to a specialist cardiothoracic surgeon I don't know what the future holds, but I want to be hopeful that this is a setback that I can eventually recover from So this is my journey so far - 3 failed adventures and a lot of frustration. But there’s plenty of beauty in there too To anyone who is struggling right now, big hugs, keep going! We'll get through this 💚 Music in this Video
