Well, I only have three days of IV’s left not that I’m counting or anything! I would be lying if I said I felt better. It has been a real challenge, having my head down the toilet for most of the time but it will be worth it if it works. The ‘Hospital at Home’ nurses have been a God send. lets face it when you feel that sick you just want your own bed (and bathroom for that matter!) so I have been really grateful that they have allowed me to do that.

I have had lots of (extra) support from family and friends, and I really do appreciate it thank you, the flowers have been beautiful.

I can’t wait to get this over and done with. I can have a shower without having to construct a massive waterproof (ish) glove with one hand every time and eat something a little more exciting that Dairylea on toast!

    I feel sure you can get through this, you have been going from strength to strength, albeit via wobblyville! There’s light at the end of the tunnel xx

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.
