Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Here we go again!

The nerve block was more fun and games (I’m such a lucky girl!). The journey to Liverpool was an absolute pleasure with the usual motorway services with the toilets MILES away topped off nicely by staying at a hotel with the world’s most vertigo unfriendly carpet. It was flippin everywhere. When I realised my room was at the end of the ‘Vertigo Corridor From Hell’ I almost just set up camp where I stood!

Apparently it can take a couple of weeks to work and it’s now been about that and surprise surprise its made not a jot of difference. I’m also now being treated for suspected Lyme Disease which is just bizarre. I can’t really get my head around how my whole life has been shattered and it could all be down to something as simple as a tick bite – it’s crazy. What’s also nuts is going to the Hospital of Tropical Medicine hoping that you have some nasty infection as anything is preferable to what I have been (unsuccessfully) treated for. I’m so exhausted by all this!

My sister has now gone back to Australia which is sad. Before she went we had a really fun day at Champneys (cheers Mary and Andrew!). There was no alcohol at the bar (shock horror) so we were a little bit naughty and snuck in the hard stuff and had a rather nice errr ‘detox cocktail’ at lunchtime. Rav from Crime Watch and Strictly Come Dancing was there which was a nice little treat, he so rocked a white towelling robe!

I had a pedicure which lasted for all of five minutes when I managed to kick my sun lounger – maybe there was a good reason alcohol is not aloud 😉

We rounded the day off nicely in an establishment that does let you have alcohol, huddled under a umbrella in a thunder storm (possibly not the brightest thing to do). Unfortunately the flash on my phone is so rubbish you can’t see how fab we looked after a day at the spa 😉

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.
