Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Back in the Bray

June4

Well I’m really happy as (fingers crossed) I seem to be doing ok since my return from Spain. I thought I’d be really ill, especially after the airport drama (God only knows how I survived that!). I think it helps that we have beautiful sunshine at the moment and I can finally get my garden chair out of the shed.

I think it’s given me a bit more confidence realising that if I pace myself I can cope on my own. Having a bit of independence back feels amazing and I must try and keep it up. I also realised that I can make friends because despite being sick I’m still a nice person and if they are worth being friends with they will not mind about my ‘incidents’. Me wobbling all over the place and hanging onto trees didn’t seem to phase the Hungarian at all he just helped me out and didn’t think I was crazy (well at least he hid that well if he did!).

With that in mind I’ve put myself on a dating site (don’t laugh). I’m not fussed so much about a relationship but it would be nice to meet some new people and see what happens. Don’t get too excited I’ve only had interest from 60 year old, fat, bald men. No offence I’m sure they are lovely.

I went to the landlord of the local pubs wedding reception which was fun it was in a sculpture gallery. A little old lady actually asked me (giggling)to take a picture of her, the cake and the ‘bits’. I got pretty well acquainted with the floor there too but not due to the vertigo. Wooden floor + bubble machine + stiletto heels = VERY BAD COMBINATION (and no it wasn’t the wine!). It would be me that found that out first! I was so worried about the blinking patterned carpet setting me off I didn’t think. Anyway, I found my perfect man (may cancel my dating site subscription) – the strong silent type 😉

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.
