Well I’m off on my Yoga holiday. When I went last year it was the best I’d felt since becoming ill and I have been counting down ever since.

I think Yoga has been amazing for me for the following reasons:

1. My stupid brain (which has a hissy fit about most things) actually allows me to do it as long as I’m sensible

2. I’m now far more flexible – It’s now so much easier to paint my toe nails!

3. It calms me down when I’m feeling stressed

4. It gives me a sense of achievement managing to do some Yoga even if I manage little else in the day

5. I now don’t have to ask random strangers to help me out with sunscreen on my back!

I don’t think it was just the Yoga that made me feel good it was the amazing people I met. I feel so lucky that a lot of the friends that I made last year are heading back. I think you can underestimate how spending so much time on your own pondering your lot can be quite bad for you. I can’t wait to catch up over a nice mojito by the pool! Speaking (or writing) of mates and cocktails we had a couple for Steve’s Birthday – you’d never guess look at those rosy faces πŸ˜‰

I just hope I can make it through the airport alone. I have to admit I’m really bricking it. You have to laugh, most people are fearful of actually getting on the plane – I’m just terrified of the actual airport! I can’t even have a quick GnT if I get into trouble. You couldn’t exactly be annoyed at airport staff for putting two and two together with me smelling of alcohol and falling over. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I think Harry has his own version of Downward Dog πŸ˜‰

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.
