I have a disability, my disability is different to everyone else I know. My disease is called Maple Syrup Urine Disease. I can't have Meat like fish, chicken, shellfish, lamb, beef, eggs or walnuts I have a special drink every morning and night that I mix up called MSUD Powder.
When I was a little girl I was sick. My mum dad and my two sisters had to take me to hospital for an Operation on my belly because I couldn't walk after I had eaten the protein foods. All the meats are no good for me so I am a Vegetarian girl. If I eat walnut I will turn a purple colour. They tried two walnut pieces on my food when I was little girl at the dairy. I felt funny and couldn't talk at all, so my mum , dad my two sisters take me to hospital again for a check up. I didn't turn a purple colour that time but I had to stop eating Walnuts. I collapse when I eat the meats. I will fall over on to the ground because I ate the wrong food. In My family I am the only girl with a Disability. My two sisters have not got a Disability and they treat me really well. |
