Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Hitting the town!

Having ANOTHER duvet day today, I literally can’t get my head off the pillow.

It’s ‘payback’ for my trip out with my Dad yesterday which was a flippin nightmare. I had started to feel a bit better and so we thought we would go out for lunch and try and go around a couple of shops. Yes, me poor old Dad has been so worried about me he was prepared to go shopping to cheer me up – brave man! Well to cut a long story short it ended up with passing out and hitting my head on the wooden floor of the pub we’d gone in. No I hadn’t been drinking the hard stuff before you joke, it wasn’t even midday! Embarrassing. I just had to lay there as I couldn’t get up, eventually I managed to get to a chair and rest my head on the table for half hour (I must have looked absolutely battered!).Dad had a couple of pints (for the shock of course) I think he was feeling lucky I’d passed out in a place that served alcohol and not say Topshop. Mum’s feeling a bit cheated as I only manage to pass out in Waitrose when I’m with her! The landlady was very understanding (after we convinced her not to call an ambulance) and made me a lovely cup of tea with a sugar in it. I didn’t like to ask for decaf (or a scone!), bless her! The most annoying thing of the whole day was that the only thing I managed to buy was some more supplements (which clearly aren’t doing a huge amount!).

I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers today from Claire and Dave which really brightened up my day and gave me something pretty to look at.

I think i’ll take it easy for the next few days (probably wont have a choice in that) as I don’t want to risk another incident. It would be so much easier not to leave the house ever again. I can have a good flick through my gardening magazine (cheers Marcus and Sophy) and plan what to grow this summer if this cold weather ever goes away! Can’t beat a bit of basil đŸ˜‰

Well at least the dog’s happy (I think he’s waiting for a rerun of One Man and His Dog). He always makes me laugh!

    Sounds like you are having a rubbish time! On the up side you could write a book with all this material! Your dad must have been shocked!

Hi, My name is Susan and in 2010 I suddenly got very sick with vertigo and extreme fatigue. My life as I knew it changed forever. I had to leave my job as a junior Doctor to move back home with my family as I was unable to look after myself, let alone other people. It took a very long time, about 2644 doctors visits and ALL the tests to be told ‘congratulations, all your results are normal there is nothing wrong with you’, which was the most devastating news of all as there clearly WAS something horribly wrong, we just could not identify it.

 

Eventually, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease which was great news as I finally had a reason to feel so ill. That was until I realised that there is no real recognised treatment and I was once again left to trying to navigate debilitating symptoms alone. More doctors, more tests, protocol after debilitating protocol and plenty of ‘ah ha’ moments later I finally started to heal. It was quite the journey and I have learnt a lot about what treatments are out there, and perhaps more importantly, the body’s amazing capacity to heal. I am now in a position where I want to help others to reclaim their health.
